Caribbean Airlines says it carried 14,935 passengers between Trinidad and Tobago during the eight-day travel period surrounding Tobago Carnival.
The airline’s figures cover October 28 to November 4, 2026. TTT News reported the passenger total on November 7, citing a company release issued the previous day.
To meet expected demand, the carrier added 8,000 seats to its regular domestic schedule, with the additional flights available from October 15. The airline also said it accommodated standby passengers during the busy period.
The figures describe passenger movements on the airbridge, not a count of unique Carnival visitors. They should not be treated as a measure of festival attendance or total tourism revenue.
Caribbean Airlines thanked passengers and its operational teams, and linked the additional capacity to its role in supporting inter-island travel and the country’s tourism economy. The published statement did not provide a comparison with the previous Carnival period.
