Caribbean Airlines announced that it will debut a new nonstop flight route connecting Pearson Airport in Toronto with A.N.R. Robinson International Airport in Tobago. The service will officially begin operations on October 25, 2026.
Why it matters
The new route eliminates the need for passengers to connect through Piarco International Airport in Port of Spain when traveling between the two destinations. This expansion simplifies travel to the island, which is home to the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere, the Main Ridge Forest Reserve.
Flights will operate weekly on Sundays, with departures from Toronto at 3:20 p.m. and arrivals in Tobago at 9:55 p.m. Return service departs Tobago at 8:40 a.m. and arrives in Toronto at 1:25 p.m.
