The KLM Roy­al Dutch Air­lines has ex­tend­ed its planned flight sched­ule to Oc­to­ber, in­ter­im CEO of Tourism Trinidad Ltd Car­la Cu­pid has said.

“Tourism Trinidad Ltd felt it was very im­por­tant to be at this year’s Vakantiebeurs be­cause of the KLM flight that is com­ing from Am­s­ter­dam to PoS,” Cu­pid stat­ed.

“We were able to re­al­ly strength­en that con­nec­tion be­tween TTL, and KLM Roy­al Dutch Air­lines, and be­cause the air­line is com­ing in­to PoS three times per week what we felt we need­ed to do is to meet with them. They will be fly­ing in­to PoS un­til Oc­to­ber 2023 so they are here for the sum­mer,” she said.

The air­line cur­rent­ly flies three to times week­ly to Trinidad via Bar­ba­dos, with di­rect flight from Trinidad to Am­s­ter­dam.

KLM had pre­vi­ous­ly planned to con­tin­ue this ser­vice un­til March but a Tourism Trinidad team met with the air­line’s of­fi­cial at Vakantiebeurs 2023 Tourism Trade Show in the Nether­lands last week.

Cu­pid said T&T now has an even greater op­por­tu­ni­ty to bring more peo­ple from the Benelux re­gion (Bel­gium, Nether­lands and Lux­em­bourg) and the wider West­ern Eu­ro­pean re­gion to T&T’s shores.

“So I think that is a big win com­ing out of this,” Cu­pid said.

“An­oth­er big win com­ing out of this is that where we were not on the land­scape or even in the minds of the Dutch trav­el­ling pub­lic, the va­ca­tion­ing Dutch trav­el­ling pub­lic we were able to now start to build that foun­da­tion,” Cu­pid said.

“So by keep­ing in touch with them, by en­gag­ing with them, what we are do­ing is re­al­ly piquing their in­ter­est so we have a lot of per­sons who are in­ter­est­ed in how they could ac­cess pack­ages and that will re­al­ly bring a lot of ben­e­fits to tour op­er­a­tors and trav­el agents back home who want to sell the ex­pe­ri­ences that Trinidad has to of­fer,” she said.
