Over the years, five Caravan aircraft have landed in Cuba with mechanical or other problems. The Cuban authorities helped them with repairs and got them back on their way within hour or overnight. You'll need to arrange your own overflight permit and file the necessary flightplans. Many Caravaners, having done the trip once with us, fly to the Cayman Islands regularly. During International Aviation Week, because of the congested traffic in the Giron Corridor, pilots tell us it s far more convenient to simply let the Caravan do all the organizational work.
Fuel prices vary.
Both out islands make good day trips. The Brac has a jet-capable runway and fuel is available. Little Cayman has a turf strip that's relatively well cared for, although we advise caution when operations into this field with low wing aircraft or those with little prop clearance.
