T&T and Cuba to get additional air lift from Canada

Following expanded air services agreements, the Canadian government is increasing the air lift between Canada and the Caribbean, specifically Trinidad & Tobago and Cuba.

Transport Minister John Baird explained that: "over the past four years, we have worked to provide airlines with more flexibility to increase the number of convenient flights and cheaper fares to help travellers, businesses, shippers and the tourism industry."

WestJet and Sunwing, effective immediately, can begin to operate scheduled international air services between Canada and Caribbean destinations in Trinidad & Tobago and Cuba. A daily T&T service is set to begin in May of this year during peak seasons.

In the Caribbean, Barbados and the Dominican Republic have also benefitted from expanded service agreements over the last four years.
