75,149 travel on airbridge in August

Caribbean Airlines carried 75,149 passengers between Trinidad and Tobago in August, describing the result as continued strong performance on the domestic airbridge during the 2026 peak summer travel season. The airline transported 66,814 passengers on the route in July.

The state-owned carrier increased capacity in stages as it anticipated heavier demand. It added seats in mid-July, increased capacity again at the start of August, and made a further adjustment for the Great Race weekend. The airline said the approach gave passengers better access to seats and supported connections between the islands during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.

Acting chief executive officer Varma Khillawan said the airbridge connects families, businesses and communities while helping people reach essential services. “The domestic airbridge is much more than a route network, it is a vital link that brings families together, supports businesses, enables access to essential services, and connects communities across Trinidad and Tobago,” he said. “We are proud to have served more than 75,000 passengers in August and to play an important role in helping people stay connected.”

In a separate announcement, Caribbean Airlines said it had expanded its services with a luxury airport taxi option. Dignitary Travel Worldwide, an independent third-party provider, will operate the service for private transfers to and from selected airports and destinations in the United States.

Customers can book cars, SUVs, executive vehicles or coaches for individuals and groups of up to 55 people, subject to availability. The service includes flight monitoring for airport pickups, child and infant seats, wheelchair-accessible transportation on request, and round-the-clock customer support. The airline stressed that the provider handles all bookings, payments, changes, cancellations, refunds and transport-related questions under its own terms.
