Fron­tier Air­lines is of­fer­ing ex­tra flights be­tween Trinidad and Puer­to Ri­co for the Car­ni­val sea­son. The Den­ver-based air­line says that due to in­creased de­mand, it will add three roundtrip flights to its sched­ule, op­er­at­ing on Feb­ru­ary 28, March 2, and March 5. Fron­tier cur­rent­ly flies twice week­ly be­tween Luis Muñoz Marín In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port in San Juan (SJU) and Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port in Port of Spain (POS).

In a re­lease, Josh Flyr, Fron­tier Air­lines’ vice pres­i­dent of net­work and op­er­a­tions de­sign, said:

“The Caribbean has be­come a mag­nif­i­cent home for Fron­tier, with im­pres­sive growth in our net­work across the re­gion over the past year, and we are proud to ho­n­our its vi­brant tra­di­tion and cul­ture by in­creas­ing our ser­vice for the cel­e­bra­tion of Car­ni­val. These ad­di­tion­al flights in Feb­ru­ary and March will pro­vide more af­ford­able and con­ve­nient con­nec­tions to cel­e­brants in Trinidad and To­ba­go, Puer­to Ri­co, and the con­ti­nen­tal U.S. as they trav­el for the fes­ti­val.”

Tourism, Cul­ture, and the Arts Min­is­ter Ran­dall Mitchell al­so wel­comed Fron­tier’s de­ci­sion to in­crease flight op­er­a­tions to des­ti­na­tion T&T. In a state­ment to Guardian Me­dia, he said:

“The an­nounce­ment con­firms a grow­ing de­mand for trav­el to these is­lands dur­ing Car­ni­val 2025, and we look for­ward to wel­com­ing all our vis­i­tors to ex­pe­ri­ence the cul­ture, the artistry, the en­er­gy, and the vi­bran­cy that we know this fes­ti­val brings.”

Fron­tier is the lat­est air­line to an­nounce ad­di­tion­al ser­vice to T&T for Car­ni­val. In 2024, Unit­ed Air­lines rein­tro­duced its Newark-POS route for Christ­mas 2024 and the 2025 Car­ni­val pe­ri­od. KLM Roy­al Dutch Air­lines and Caribbean Air­lines have al­so added flights to their sched­ules for Car­ni­val.
