There are now additional options to get to the island of Dominica now that Contour Airlines has launched nonstop flights connecting the island with San Juan, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The new service to Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) represents Contour’s first entry into Caribbean markets and creates important connectivity for clients traveling from North America.
“We’re thrilled to bring Contour’s brand of reliable, comfortable jet service to the Caribbean,” said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines, in a press statement. “Launching service in Dominica is an exciting step for us, and we look forward to making it easier for Dominicans to travel and for visitors to discover Dominica, the Nature Island.”
Dominica, Connected
The 30-seat regional jets operated on these routes offer travelers a comfortable experience with 36 inches of legroom, approximately 4 inches more than typical economy seating on larger aircraft. Clients will appreciate the complimentary snacks and full in-flight service.
“When I visited St. Thomas, I heard firsthand the desire for a direct connection to Dominica” said Honorable Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister of Dominica, in a press statement. “With the launch of Contour Airlines’ inaugural service, that vision has become reality. This new link strengthens ties between our islands and opens new doors for tourism, trade, and investment. It is a meaningful step toward greater regional connectivity, and I am proud that Dominica can be at the center of this progress.”
For clients based in the continental U.S., these new routes establish the only nonstop jet service between Dominica and both Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The San Juan connection favors advisors arranging multi-destination itineraries, as Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport serves as a key Caribbean hub with connections throughout the Americas and beyond. Clients can easily combine Dominica with other destinations or connect from major U.S. cities.
“We are delighted to welcome Contour Airlines to Puerto Rico with the launch of its new nonstop service between San Juan and Dominica. This represents an important step in recovering intra-Caribbean capacity and reaffirms our government’s commitment to restoring connectivity via the San Juan hub. We look forward to the positive impact this new service will have on tourism, commerce, and the cultural ties that unite our islands,” said the Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, Willianette Robles Cancel, in a press statement.
