- Canadians will soon find it easier to get to a pair of popular Caribbean destinations.
A Canadian jet sits on the tarmac at Montego Bay, Jamaica. Under a new agreement airlines from Canada, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago will have better access to each country.
Canada has signed open skies air transportation agreements with Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.
The deals give airlines more flexibility in selecting new routes, schedules and prices. Open skies agreements already exist with the Caribbean nations of Barbados and the Dominican Republic.
"These agreements will reinforce Canada's commercial relationship with two of our most significant trade partners in the Caribbean community," said Peter Van Loan, minister of international trade.
Air Jamaica currently flies out of Terminal 3 at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Caribbean Airlines provides service between Toronto and various Caribbean destinations.
The agreements will allow new air services to begin immediately.
Canada now has open skies deals with 11 nations. It signed an enhanced agreement with Switzerland in October that allows airlines from either country to take on passengers in Switzerland or Canada, and carry them to other nations along the airline's route.
A similar deal with signed with El Salvador in April.
