New Jet Service Improves Caribbean Connectivity and Boosts Tourism in Dominica
Big news for Caribbean travelers and adventure seekers! Contour Airlines has officially launched nonstop jet service to Dominica, connecting this lush and vibrant island with San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (STT). Beginning this season, passengers can fly direct to Douglas–Charles Airport (DOM) aboard Contour’s spacious 30-seat jets—complete with extra legroom, complimentary snacks, and warm, in-flight hospitality.
This exciting development marks Contour’s first foray into Caribbean skies —a move that’s set to transform regional travel and give both residents and visitors easier, faster access to one of the region’s most naturally stunning destinations.
“We’re excited to introduce our signature jet service to the Caribbean,” said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines. “Dominica is a perfect fit for our growing network, and we’re honored to make travel more accessible for islanders and adventure travelers alike.”
These new routes are the only nonstop jet services from Dominica to both Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands—offering onward global connections through SJU and STT.
🇩🇲 A Bold Step Toward Regional Unity
Dominica’s Prime Minister, Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit, emphasized the impact of this milestone:
“When I visited St. Thomas, I heard the call for direct flights—and now, that vision is a reality. This launch deepens our regional ties and opens up opportunities for tourism, trade, and investment. Dominica is proud to be at the heart of this progress.”
Echoing the excitement, Hon. Denise Charles-Emberton, Dominica’s Minister of Tourism, hailed the move as a key step in sustainable growth:
“These routes improve access for visitors, returning nationals, and business travelers. We look forward to working closely with Contour Airlines to highlight Dominica’s breathtaking natural beauty and cultural richness.”

From the U.S. Virgin Islands, VIPA Executive Director Carlton Dowe shared his enthusiasm:
“Welcoming Dominica as a direct destination enhances flexibility for travelers and strengthens the Caribbean’s connectivity as a world-class travel region. This is a win for tourism, cultural exchange, and our economy.”
Meanwhile, in San Juan, Willianette Robles Cancel of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company added:
