News Americas, New York, NY, October 3, 2024: Inter-regional travel in the Caribbean is getting a boost, 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 3rd and to Guadeloupe on December 7th. Flights to both destinations will operate four times a week.
