New Contour Airlines route supports Government's efforts to strengthen air access and expand regional connectivity.
ROSEAU, Dominica, July 23, 2026 — The Ministry of Tourism and the Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) today announced that Contour Airlines will launch nonstop service between Dominica and Trinidad and Tobago beginning October 5, 2026. The introduction of the service forms part of ongoing efforts by the Government of Dominica to strengthen air access and support the continued growth of the tourism sector.
The new service will operate twice weekly between Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) and Piarco International Airport (POS) in Port of Spain. Contour Airlines will also provide one-stop, same-plane service between Trinidad and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico and between Trinidad and Cyril E. King Airport (STT) in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
The route is expected to significantly strengthen regional connectivity by providing travelers with a more direct and convenient option between Dominica and Trinidad and Tobago. It also enhances access to connecting travel throughout the Caribbean while 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.”
“This direct jet service to Trinidad upgrades the visitor experience by offering greater comfort, speed, and reliability," said Hon. Denise Charles-Pemberton, Minister for Tourism. “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. The service also restores seamless travel through Piarco International (POS), with excellent onward connections. We look forward to welcoming many more friends from Trinidad to experience our unique offerings.”
