Metrojet has been granted an AOC by the CAA of the Cayman Islands, marking the establishment of its operational branch, Metrojet SEZC, in the region and a milestone in the Hong Kong-headquartered company’s strategic expansion.

The Cayman Islands AOC authorises Metrojet SEZC to conduct commercial air transport operations and confirms that the company meets the stringent safety, operational and professional standards set by the authority.
