More Seats for Air Bridge between Trinidad and Tobago

The Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association (THTA) has welcomed the announcement of additional seats on Caribbean Airlines flights between Tobago and Trinidad.

From 1st August until 31st August, the airline will be adding a jet carrying 154 passengers, as well as adding additional flights using the existing ATR fleet. The jet will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, while the ATRs will operate 1st August until 8th September on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays.

THTA has long campaigned for additional airlift between the two islands, which will not only benefit the people of Tobago but visitors trying to reach the island from Piarco International Airport in Trinidad.

THTA vice president, Chris James, said, “Expanding airlift between the two islands has always been a priority for the association as one of the biggest problems for visitors is the connecting services with international flights. The decision by the CEO of Caribbean Airlines to provide a jet and additional ATR flights will go a long way towards boosting Tobago's tourism sector.

This will in turn benefit all of Tobago, including fishermen, farmers, shop workers, entertainers, suppliers, taxi drivers, etc. So many people here in Tobago are part of and reliant upon tourism in some way.”
