Contour Airlines Expands Caribbean Network with New Nonstop Dominica–Trinidad Route Launching October 2026

ROSEAU, Dominica — Regional air travel in the Caribbean is set to become even more convenient with the launch of a new nonstop route connecting Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) in Dominica and Piarco International Airport (POS) in Trinidad and Tobago.

Beginning October 5, 2026, Contour Airlines will operate the new service twice weekly, creating a faster and more efficient link between two important Eastern Caribbean destinations while improving regional connectivity for business and leisure travelers alike.

In addition to the nonstop Dominica–Trinidad service, Contour Airlines will also introduce one-stop, same-plane service between Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Port of Spain, as well as between Cyril E. King Airport (STT) in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Trinidad. These expanded connections provide travelers with more seamless travel options throughout the Caribbean.

Strengthening Regional Connectivity

The new route is expected to play a key role in strengthening transportation links across the Eastern Caribbean by reducing travel times and making it easier for passengers to access one of the region's major commercial and transportation hubs.

The enhanced connectivity is also expected to support increased tourism, business development, and trade between Dominica and Trinidad and Tobago while providing improved onward connections to destinations throughout the Caribbean.

"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."

Tourism Boost for Dominica

Dominica's tourism officials have welcomed the announcement, describing the new service as an important milestone for the island's visitor economy.

Minister of Tourism Hon. Denise Charles-Pemberton emphasized that the route will improve accessibility while highlighting Dominica's growing appeal to Trinidadian travelers.

"This direct jet service to Trinidad upgrades the visitor experience by offering greater comfort, speed, and reliability," Charles-Pemberton said.

She noted that Trinidad represents an important source market for Dominica's tourism industry, particularly among travelers seeking authentic nature experiences.

"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."

The minister added that visitors can also enjoy Dominica's renowned hiking trails, world-class diving, wellness retreats, and eco-tourism experiences while benefiting from improved regional connections through Piarco International Airport.

Flights will be operated using Contour Airlines' fleet of 30-seat regional jet aircraft, offering passengers:

• Extra legroom

• Complimentary snacks

• Inflight service

• A comfortable regional travel experience

The airline says the new route is designed to provide a fast, reliable, and customer-focused travel option while supporting stronger economic and tourism ties between Dominica and Trinidad and Tobago.
