Contour Airlines has announced a major milestone in its growth, unveiling new nonstop flights connecting San Juan (SJU) and St. Thomas (STT) to Douglas–Charles Airport (DOM) in Dominica. The service marks Contour’s official entry into the Caribbean market and will provide the only nonstop jet connections between Dominica, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Flights will be operated with the airline’s fleet of 30-seat regional jets, featuring generous legroom, complimentary snacks, and inflight service.

“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,” said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines.

Strengthening regional connectivity

The new routes will not only give Dominica direct jet access to neighboring islands but also open seamless onward connections worldwide via San Juan and St. Thomas.

Dominica’s Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, welcomed the development, calling it a vision fulfilled:

“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.”

Tourism Minister Denise Charles-Pemberton added that the launch represents a boost for both accessibility and sustainable tourism:

“We look forward to working with Contour Airlines as part of our ongoing efforts to support sustainable tourism growth and showcase Dominica’s natural and cultural offerings.”

A new chapter for Dominica travel

Known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean, Dominica has long been a bucket-list destination for eco-travelers but has faced limited air access. With Contour’s new nonstop jet flights, the island is now more connected than ever — offering easier access for returning nationals, business travelers, and tourists alike.
