Caribbean Airlines (CAL) has announced major changes to its regional operations, including the discontinuation of all services to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, effective January 10, 2026, as part of its ongoing Network Optimisation Programme.

The airline said the decision followed a “comprehensive evaluation” of route performance and resource allocation. Affected passengers will be contacted directly and issued full refunds where applicable.

As part of the programme, CAL will also restructure its Barbados hub from February 2026, shifting aircraft and crew to operate primarily out of Trinidad, while maintaining connectivity across the Northern and Eastern Caribbean. Acting CEO Nirmala Ramai said the changes are necessary to improve reliability, competitiveness, and ensure long-term sustainability.
