Cayman Airways recovery flight after JFK delay
Cayman Airways recovery flight reunited affected passengers after KX793 was cancelled at New York JFK on October 13, 2025.
Cayman Airways (IATA: KX, ICAO: CAY) cancelled flight KX793 from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Owen Roberts International Airport, Grand Cayman, on October 13, 2025 after a mechanical issue and subsequent slot constraints at JFK prevented a timely departure.
The carrier organised a recovery flight the next day, departing JFK at 11:45 a.m. on October 14, 2025, to transport passengers originally booked on KX793 to Grand Cayman. The airline confirmed the schedule and worked to rebook affected travellers onto that service.
