Caribbean Airlines cancels flights in preparation for tropical cyclone passing; T&T closes schools

Caribbean Airlines today cancelled or re-scheduled several of its flights as the region prepares for the passage of a tropical cyclone that is moving towards the southern Windward Islands and is likely to bring heavy rain and gusty winds.

The Trinidad and Tobago government has also closed schools on the island as a precaution.

CAL said all its domestic flights between Trinidad and Tobago had been cancelled and it had also cancelled its scheduled services from Jamaica to St. Maarten, Barbados, and Port of Spain, as well as the flight from Trinidad to Suriname and return.
