News Americas, New York, NY, October 3, 2024: Inter-regional travel in the Caribbean is on the rise, thanks to new routes from Trinidad-and Tobago Caribbean Airlines.
Caribbean Airlines is expanding its regional connectivity with the launch of new flights from Trinidad to the French Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe as part of its growth strategy. Pending government approval, the airline will begin service to Martinique on December 3 and Guadeloupe on December 7. Flights to both destinations will be operated four times a week.
The move will increase travel efficiency across the region, further connecting the French, Spanish, Dutch and English-speaking Caribbean. Earlier this year, Caribbean Airlines introduced new flights to Puerto Rico and is set to launch service to Tortola from the British Virgin Islands on October 14.
