From today, Caribbean Airlines will increase the flight frequency on the domestic air bridge between Trinidad and Tobago to four daily return services.
The announcement came yesterday via a statement from the airline.
The move comes days after Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley revealed at a media conference that passengers accessing domestic travel will see more avenues to travel between the islands, with added flights and increased capacity on the ferries.
Business groups, including the Tobago Chamber and even hoteliers, had complained that the activity Tobago usually sees during the July/August vacation was severely impacted due to a decrease in travel between Trinidad and Tobago because of measures taken to curtail the spread of COVID-19. Only essential travel was allowed.
Meanwhile, CAL said it will update the public should there be further increases going forward. The airline has also recommended that people travel on the domestic air bridge for essential purposes only. It has also thanked its customers for their understanding and support as “we work together to reduce the spread of COVID-19.”
