Flying to Trinidad and Tobago

General Information

Both Trinidad and Tobago have their own airports. However, even though Tobago is the more tourist-focused of the two islands, Trinidad’s Piarco International Airport remains the busiest. It is ranked among the top 10 airports in the entire Caribbean and handles 2.5 million passengers per year—more than three times the traffic of Tobago’s Robinson International Airport.

That said, both airports offer a solid selection of direct routes, connecting to the rest of the Antilles, South America, Central America (including Panama), Canada, the USA, as well as England and Germany in Europe. Much of this is thanks to the national carrier, Caribbean Airlines (formerly BWIA), which remains the leading airline in the Caribbean.
