Charles Kirkconnell International Airport
Charles Kirkconnell International Airport, coded CYB, connects Cayman Brac, the smallest inhabited sister to Grand Cayman, to Grand Cayman itself and to a handful of international points. The island takes its name from the Gaelic word for bluff, referring to the dramatic limestone ridge running along its spine and sheltering caves once used as hurricane refuges. Diving and rock climbing draw much of CYB's leisure traffic, appealing to visitors seeking a quieter alternative to Grand Cayman's busier resorts, while the airport itself remains compact, reflecting the low-key character of a British Overseas Territory community numbering only a few thousand residents.
