Caribbean Airlines’ inaugural flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico, took off from Piarco International Airport at 10:50 a.m. on Sunday, July 14.
This new route is a key component of the airline’s strategic plan to enhance connectivity within the Caribbean region. Flights to San Juan will operate three times a week—on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays—from the airline’s base in Trinidad, offering convenient connections to other destinations.
The inaugural flight was celebrated with great fanfare. Passengers received goody bags filled with Caribbean Airlines-branded items and enjoyed a live performance by the talented Leandra Head. Upon arrival in Puerto Rico, the aircraft was greeted with a traditional water salute, and travelers were welcomed with authentic Puerto Rican entertainment.
Garvin Medera, CEO of Caribbean Airlines, remarked on the significance of this new route:
“We are excited to expand our route network to include San Juan, Puerto Rico. This new route is a significant step in our growth strategy and underscores our commitment to enhancing regional connectivity. Caribbean Airlines plays a vital role in connecting the Caribbean, and by the end of this year, we will link the Spanish, French, Dutch, and English-speaking Caribbean with each other, the North American Diaspora, and business and leisure travelers, as we welcome them Home, to explore our beautiful region.”
The introduction of the San Juan route underscores Caribbean Airlines’ dedication to providing reliable and convenient travel options while fostering economic growth and cultural exchange within the Caribbean.
