Trinidad & Tobago welcomes new Delta Air Lines Service; Non-Stop from Atlanta to Trinidad begins December 9
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Traveling from the land of peaches and southern hospitality to the island known for its historic rainforest, world-class diving, and eclectic culture is now easier than ever.
On December 9, Delta Air Lines will launch new non-stop service from Atlanta, Georgia to Port of Spain, Trinidad. On February 17, 2007, Delta Airlines will launch new non-stop service from Atlanta to Tobago.
In time for the peak travel season and the annual Carnival festival, Delta will offer direct service from the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta to Piarco International Airport in Trinidad.
Flight 319 will depart Atlanta four times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday) at 2:50 p.m. and arrive Port of Spain at 8:30 p.m. The return flight 322 will depart Port of Spain four times a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday) at 9:05 a.m. and arrive Atlanta at 1:15 p.m.
The airline will also offer travelers direct service from the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta to Crown Point International Airport in Tobago, once a week, departing Atlanta on Saturdays and returning on Sunday mornings.
“This is big news for Trinidad & Tobago. The addition of this flight allows us to introduce the business appeal, culture and charisma of Trinidad to a huge segment of business and leisure travelers. It will also allow Tobago to be connected to the North American leisure traveler.
We are pleased that our efforts to streamline travel to our island nation have resulted in this important and convenient Delta flight,” said Dr. James Hepple, President of the Tourism and Development Company of Trinidad & Tobago.
“Delta has so many excellent connections throughout the southeastern United States such as Birmingham, Memphis, and Orlando, that we expect to see a significant increase of arrivals to the destination from this region with this new service.”
