PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC—Regional carrier Caribbean Airlines will launch a new service to San Juan, Puerto Rico, with connections via Barbados starting July 14.
However, this is subject to the approval of the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority (TTCAA) and is pending approval by the Government of Barbados.
The strategic addition is that the airline operates flights three times per week from its base here, offering convenient connections via Barbados to other regional destinations. Cargo services will also be available on these flights.
