Caribbean Airlines adds Tobago flights ahead of October 30 Carnival opening

Caribbean Airlines is increasing domestic airbridge capacity ahead of Tobago Carnival, with additional flights intended to accommodate travel between Trinidad and Tobago for the October 30 to November 1 celebrations, WIC News reports. The airline said the expansion would support travellers heading to the festival and reinforce its commitment to connections between the islands and support for culture. However, the report does not specify the number of additional flights or seats, or provide a timetable for the expanded service. WIC News also reports that extra fast ferry sailings are planned to accommodate increased passenger volumes on the seabridge. Those sailings would supplement the additional air services, although the report gives no sailing dates or booking details. The transport preparations come as the newly constructed terminal at ANR Robinson International Airport in Crown Point enters full commercial operations, according to the publication. The report describes improved passenger processing and ground logistics among the preparations for peak arrivals. Tourism officials cited by WIC News highlighted the importance of dependable connections between Port of Spain and Scarborough for hospitality businesses, mas bands and event organisers preparing for visitors. The reported airbridge expansion and planned ferry additions are intended to ease travel congestion during the celebrations. Specific service schedules remain an important detail absent from the report as travellers prepare for the three-day festival.
