Cayman Islands Owen Roberts Airport
The Cayman Island Government (CIG) approved a $28 million expansion of the runway into the North Sound at Owen Roberts International Airport and a $42 million rebuild of the General Aviation Terminal for private jets.
​
The outline business case that was approved includes four projects. The other two, with more modest price tags, are the modernization of air traffic control, which will cost $4.7M, and work on the runway-end safety area at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport on Cayman Brac, priced at just $1.15M.
