"With the launch of Contour Airlines' inaugural service, that vision has become reality. 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, and I am proud that Dominica can be at the center of this progress."

Hon. Denise Charles-Pemberton, Minister responsible for Tourism, Ports and International transportation, added "We welcome Contour Airlines' new services from St. Thomas and San Juan to Dominica.
