Caribbean Airlines is set to discontinue its Trinidad-Tobago-Barbados return services from September 2, as the airline continues to adjust its network to match passenger demand.

The Trinidad and Tobago-owned airline announced the change in a media release on August 25.

Despite the cancellation, Caribbean Airlines said travellers will continue to have options for moving between Trinidad, Tobago and Barbados through its existing scheduled services.

Customers booked on the affected flights will be re-accommodated on alternative Caribbean Airlines flights operating on the same day. The airline said affected passengers will be contacted directly with details of their new travel arrangements.

“This adjustment supports Caribbean Airlines’ ongoing efforts to align its schedule with customer demand while maintaining reliable and convenient connectivity across the region,” the airline said.

Barbados is one of the regions with the highest frequency of flights with over 20 weekly services.

The latest change comes as Caribbean Airlines continues to review its regional route network.

The airline has made a number of cuts over the past year, including the suspension of services to several destinations in the Eastern Caribbean.

Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Eli Zakour told the Trinidad and Tobago Senate in May that Caribbean Airlines would withdraw services to Dominica and St Kitts from June 1, while its nonstop service between Guyana’s Ogle International Airport and Suriname would also end.

Flights to Martinique and Guadeloupe were reduced to twice weekly.

Zakour said the decisions followed a review by Caribbean Airlines’ Route Oversight Committee, which examined route performance, profitability and strategic alignment.

The four Eastern Caribbean routes had been introduced in 2023 as part of the airline’s expansion strategy, but collectively recorded losses of more than US$18.84 million, or over TT$128 million.

The airline also suspended services to the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in 2025, along with its Fort Lauderdale-Montego Bay and Fort Lauderdale-Kingston routes.

According to Zakour, the Jamaica-Fort Lauderdale route recorded a US$7.2 million loss, while the Trinidad-Puerto Rico service lost US$4.92 million.
