Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago — Caribbean Airlines flights BW 296 and BW 297 were warmly welcomed upon their touchdown in Puerto Rico and Dominica respectively. The airline commenced non-stop flights between the two destinations on August 15.
As part of its destination promotion, the Puerto Rico Tourism Company hosted a Dominica-based travel blogger. This was to showcase the many attractions that Puerto Rico has to offer. Upon the return sector to Dominica, the aircraft was greeted with a water salute at Douglas–Charles International Airport. Tourism officials from Discover Dominica presented tokens to arriving passengers.
