Edward Bodden Airfield (IATA: LYB, ICAO: MWCL), also known as Little Cayman Airport, is an airfield on the southwest side of Little Cayman, one of the Cayman Islands.
The runway parallels the south shoreline, and approach and departures are over the water. Runway length includes a 200-yard displaced threshold on Runway 28.
The Cayman Brac non-directional beacon was located 13 nautical miles east of the airport, on Cayman Brac island, but was decommissioned in 2021 and replaced with the BRACC airway intersection.[1]
Little Cayman Airport's other main building, a 75-foot free span airplane hangar located directly across the field from Bodden Terminal, was built in 1970.
The airport has an exemption of airworthiness from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands, however, as of June 2025, the exemption would not continue unless the airport adheres to current standards.[2][3]
