This new service is expected to significantly strengthen regional connectivity by providing travelers with a more direct and convenient option between Dominica and Trinidad & Tobago. The route enhances access to connecting travel throughout the Caribbean while also supporting continued growth in inbound tourism, commerce, and business activity in both markets.

“We are excited to continue expanding our Caribbean network with the addition of nonstop service between Dominica and Trinidad & Tobago,” said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines. “This route strengthens connectivity within the Eastern Caribbean by making travel more convenient for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. Whether traveling for work, family, or leisure, passengers will benefit from a fast, comfortable, and reliable travel option while supporting stronger economic and tourism ties between these two vibrant destinations.”

Local officials in both Dominica and Trinidad & Tobago also welcomed the announcement, highlighting the importance of expanded air service in supporting tourism growth and regional economic development.

“This direct jet service to Trinidad upgrades the visitor experience by offering greater comfort, speed, and reliability. said Hon. Denise Charles-Pemberton, Minister of Tourism in Dominica. “Trinidad is a great market for Dominica’s tourism sector. We are particularly excited about the strong appeal this route holds for nature enthusiasts and festival lovers from Trinidad. We share a passion for birding—Trinidad’s world-renowned birdwatching community will find a perfect complement in Dominica’s pristine rainforests and unparalleled avian diversity, home to many unique species. Visitors will also discover exceptional hiking through our lush landscape, world-class diving opportunities, and an array of health and wellness experiences—from spa retreats to holistic wellness programs.
