Emergency Jet Evacuation from Cayman and the Caribbean

June to November is hurricane season in the Cayman Islands and across the Caribbean. And at the beginning of this year’s season we saw Hurricane Beryl catapult through the region, causing destruction to all in its path. Now, that doesn’t mean you should avoid the region at this time of year. It just means you should be prepared and understand your options for an emergency Cayman Islands private air charter in the unlikely event that you need to get out quickly. 

And of course hurricanes are not the only culprit. Other natural disasters, medical emergencies, political unrest and unforeseen personal circumstances are all reasons why people all over the world need to change their travel plans and get home quickly. 

Read on to learn about emergency jet evacuation services offered by Latitude Air Charters, a reliable provider of Caribbean private air charter. 

Travelling to the Caribbean in the Summer Months

There are many reasons to plan a summer trip to the Caribbean. Many of you will be travelling to the islands for business, taking advantage of the low season. 

For vacationers, the seas are pristine, calm and warm and offer beautiful conditions for sailing, watersports, scuba diving and more. Low tourist season means you can expect less crowds on your favourite beaches. And it’s a time of festivals and events, with carnivals, sporting events and much more, offering a unique experience of Caribbean life and culture. For example a Cayman Islands private air charter lets you experience CAYMAS, the annual Carnival, held the last weekend in June each year. Read more about private jet charter to the Cayman Islands.

The odds of being on-island when a hurricane or other natural disaster hits are extremely low. And of course if there’s one heading your way, and a Hurricane Warning is issued, you will typically have enough time to make a plan and take action, with Latitude Air Charters ready to assist. 

Latitude Air Charters Emergency Jet Evacuation Service

As a visitor to the Caribbean, your safest course of action under an imminent hurricane threat may be to evacuate, and not get stuck in a disaster zone. When Hurricane Beryl was approaching the Cayman Islands in early July 2024, the New York Times reported that more than 1,000 people were evacuated, including but not limited to private aircraft charter. 

Flight data shows that between 1-3 July 2024, the days preceding the passing of Hurricane Beryl, there was a significant increase in flight arrivals and departures from Owen Roberts International Airport on Grand Cayman – up to 35% increase – when compared with the same dates the previous two years. 

Latitude Air Charters facilitates private aircraft charter in emergency situations. We are equipped and experienced in supporting people who need to be evacuated from the Cayman Islands and other Caribbean destinations. Whenever you need to leave in an emergency, we will be standing by ready to assist.

Why book a Cayman islands private air charter for emergency evacuation?

Quick response

The primary advantage of booking a private Caribbean aircraft charter for emergency evacuation from the Cayman Islands or from anywhere else in the Caribbean is how quickly we can respond and have an aircraft available for you. Latitude Air Charters has an extensive inventory of aircraft and will work tirelessly to get you on board and enroute to your destination as quickly as possible. In some cases we can arrange flights with just a few hours notice. 

Reliability

With a natural disaster looming, commercial airlines tend to quickly get fully booked and overwhelmed. They are also at risk of rescheduling, delays and cancellation if the airline is unable to reroute aircraft to the destination and meet the increased demand for their services. With an emergency jet evacuation service organised by Latitude Air Charters, you are in safe hands. Our business is built on trust, integrity and years of experience.

Flexibility

Rather than relying on commercial flight routes and times, an emergency jet evacuation service will take you where you need to go, when you need to go. For instance commercial flights from the Cayman Islands fly to major airport hubs in the United States like Miami, Charlotte and New York, but if home is in Texas, or Kansas we can get you there directly, and much quicker than the next scheduled flight. Also, private aircraft charter can access smaller airports allowing the opportunity to depart from a location nearer to you where you are staying.

Extensive Aircraft Inventory

If you’re on a business trip with 20 members of your executive team,  getting that many seats together on a commercial airline in an emergency situation may be difficult. Latitude Air Charters has an extensive inventory of aircraft, and we have the knowledge and experience to recommend the right aircraft for your needs. Larger jets such as an Embraer ERJ135 have capacity for more passengers, have further range, and will get you to your destination faster. Smaller aircraft with short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities like the Pilatus PC12, means they can access smaller remote airfields, and a quick dispatch.

Dedicated Service

Latitude Air Charters will offer 24/7 dedicated flight support  to ensure that all arrangements are in place and every detail for your private evacuation flight is taken care of, meaning one less thing for you to worry about in an emergency situation. Our flight support team can offer other arrangements such as ground transportation, accommodation, and other last minute requests.
