The Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands is working with subscribers to the Cayman Islands Aircraft Registry to comply with the ICAO Annex 6 Part II, Section 3 “Safety Management System (SMS)” requirement by 1 January 2011. Foreign registered aircraft will not be held to the January 2011 compliance date nor will they be restricted from operating to the Cayman Islands after that date. The CAACI has committed to accepting the SMS implementation dates of individual States of Registry with respect to aircraft operators of those States. Foreign registered operators may contact the Commercial Affairs Regulation division at the CAACI for clarification or further information, email: permits@caacayman.com or phone 345-949-7811, ext 224.
