Preliminary work has already begun on the development of this new parking facility, which will be located to the east of the airport terminal. It will feature 300 additional parking spaces, a brand-new modern parking management system, and improved lighting.
ORIA’s existing parking facilities have reached full capacity, especially on weekends, making it challenging to accommodate the growing number of passengers efficiently. According to CIAA. the new parking facility will alleviate congestion and provide convenient, accessible parking to better serve the traveling public.
“We are thrilled to announce the construction of this new long-term parking facility at Owen Roberts International Airport. This project is a significant step forward in our commitment to enhancing the travel experience for our passengers,” said Minister for Tourism and Ports Kenneth Bryan.
“We are also delighted that our local Caymanian customers will no longer have to worry about parking availability during our peak periods. The additional parking facility will greatly improve convenience and accessibility, ensuring that our airport continues to provide the highest standard of service,” he said. “We look forward to welcoming our customers to this state-of-the-art facility in the near future."
The new parking facility will also accommodate airport stakeholders, including employees from airlines, ground handling service providers and other airport partners.
"Developing a new long-term parking facility at Owen Roberts International Airport is a vital enhancement to our nation’s primary gateway. As travel to and from the Cayman Islands continues to grow, ensuring that our infrastructure can accommodate that growth is crucial,” said CIAA Board chairman Johann Moxam. “This project not only reflects our commitment to improving the travel experience for residents but also demonstrates our dedication to continuously improving our airports.”
In addition to ORIA, the Cayman Islands Airports Authority operates the Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CKIA) on Cayman Brac.
