Delta Air Lines
I think Delta should be called On-Off Air Lines. They have totally ignored our emails asking for information about services to Trinidad and Tobago. Their announced plans have invariably been cancelled before coming into service. The proposed service to Tobago has been cancelled. The latest information we have is that the proposed four flights a week from Atlanta to Port of Spain are to be cut to one per week from May 2008.

TravelSpan
Re-introduced in February 2005, TravelSpan is a charter service operating a single direct non-stop flight from New York to Trinidad every Saturday.
The service is provided in a Boeing 757.

US Airways
US Airways became the ninth international air carrier to service Tobago when they announced that they would introduce weekly direct flights between Charlotte in North Carolina and Tobago.
The service, which will utilise an Airbus 19-series carrying 120 passengers, is expected to start in January or February 2006. No other details are available at this time.
Update: As at the beginning of April 2006, the US Air website carried no information about this service. Emails to the airline asking about the service have remained unanswered. It looks increasingly as if plans for this service have been abandoned.

Zoom
G.G.Tours allegedly operate a weekly charter flight between Toronto and Port Of Spain, Trinidad. However, we have been unable to get information on this service and G.G.Tours have failed to respond to our emails.
We understand that the service utilises a wide-body Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with economy and premium seating and a 140lbs per person baggage allowance.
