Our Story

Cayman Dispatch Services (CDS) was founded in 1992 and has grown into the Cayman Islands’ largest independent aviation ground handling company. For over 30 years, we have been the trusted partner of airlines, charter operators, and private aviation clients at Owen Roberts International Airport (MWCR) in Grand Cayman.

From our early days handling regional turboprop flights to today’s operations supporting wide-body jets, international cargo, and VIP private aviation, CDS has consistently invested in people, equipment, and processes to deliver service excellence. We are proud to be a Caymanian company, employing local talent and contributing to the island’s economy and aviation infrastructure.

By the Numbers

Management Vision

It is our goal to be the Caribbean’s most trusted and preferred aviation ground handling company. CDS has built its reputation over three decades on the back of a simple belief: that every aircraft, every passenger, and every shipment deserves our full commitment to safety, speed, and service excellence.

We strive to continue developing as a strong, independent Caymanian company — one that creates value for our airline clients, our passengers, our stakeholders, and the community we call home. From the executive management team to our newest colleagues, we are united by a shared commitment to going above and beyond.
