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.”
