CAL increases domestic capacity in October

From January 1 to September 30 this year, Caribbean Airlines (CAL) carried almost half a million passengers on the domestic air bridge between Trinidad and Tobago.

An advertisement from CAL said there were 463,783 passengers from 7,163 flights with 512,220 seats.

The seating capacity for October is 72,832, representing the highest monthly figure for the year.

The seating capacity also represents 499 flights for each island for October, the highest monthly flight for the year.

The spike in passengers might have resulted from the Tobago Carnival, which is scheduled to start on Friday and end on Sunday.

February had the smallest number of flights, with 364 in Tobago and 363 in Trinidad.

So far, July has the highest arrivals in both islands, Trinidad (30,068) and Tobago (29,134).

The month with the smallest arrivals in Tobago was February, with 23,267 passengers going to the island.
