The resumed route adds a fifth scheduled international flight service to Tobago, while tourism officials emphasise visitor demand, community engagement and local economic benefits.
Condor Airlines
Trinidad and Tobago: Condor Airlines resumed its weekly service between Tobago and Germany on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The airline accommodated around 120 passengers who visited the country in the resumption of the service.
The service operates every Tuesday, departing Frankfurt at 12:15 p.m. and arriving in Tobago at 5:25 p.m. The return flight departs Tobago at 6:25 p.m., travelling via Barbados before continuing to Frankfurt, where it arrives at 11:20 a.m. on Wednesday.
With Condor's resumption, Tobago now benefits from five scheduled international flight services weekly: Caribbean Airlines' nonstop New York service on Wednesdays, its nonstop Toronto service on Sundays, British Airways' London Gatwick service via Barbados on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Condor's Frankfurt service on Tuesdays.
“Every additional connection strengthens Tobago's access to international markets, but our work cannot stop at getting aircraft to land here. We have to fill those seats, encourage visitors to choose Tobago and ensure that what awaits them on arrival is an experience worth returning for,” Secretary Hackett stated.
She emphasised that the Tobago House of Assembly continues to prioritise international airlift as a critical component of the island's tourism development.
“Tourism is too important to Tobago's economy for us to measure success by aircraft arrivals alone. We have to look at passenger numbers, visitor spending, the experiences we deliver and, ultimately, how much of that activity benefits our people. These things must work together,” she added.
The Secretary also reiterated her intention to take tourism discussions directly into communities across Tobago, beginning in November, through a district-by-district engagement initiative alongside the Tobago Tourism Agency Limited.
“I want Tobagonians to be part of this conversation and to recognise the opportunities that exist within the industry. Tourism is everybody's business, and we all have to put our shoulders to the wheel. Government will continue pursuing the connections and opportunities, but building a stronger tourism industry requires all of us,” Secretary Hackett said.
The Division of Tourism, Antiquities and Creative Industries remains focused on working with airline and industry partners to sustain existing services, strengthen demand and pursue further opportunities for international connectivity, while ensuring that tourism growth translates into meaningful economic benefits for Tobago.
