Contour Airlines is set to expand its Caribbean network this fall with the launch of nonstop service connecting Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico with Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten.
The new route begins Nov. 14.
Flights will be operated on Contour’s fleet of 30-seat regional jet aircraft, which feature extra legroom, complimentary snacks and inflight service.
“We are excited to expand our Caribbean network with this new route between San Juan and St. Maarten,” said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines. “This service will provide a vital link between two important destinations, offering more travel options for leisure and business travelers alike, while strengthening regional connectivity.”
The launch also marks a strategic milestone for St. Maarten’s continued growth as a regional hub.
“We are delighted to see the return of this important air link through our collaboration with Contour Airlines and Princess Juliana International Airport,” said May-Ling Chun, St. Maarten’s Director of Tourism. “This route is more than just a connection—it is a bridge that strengthens our economies, deepens cultural ties, and fuels regional tourism.”
Michael Cleaver, CEO of Princess Juliana International Airport, emphasized the long-term impact of the renewed connection. “At Princess Juliana International Airport, we like to say all great Caribbean journeys begin on our runway, and now, thanks to this renewed San Juan connection, even more will. This route isn’t just about schedules and seats—it’s about connecting people, businesses and opportunities.”
With the new flights, Contour is expanding its nascent footprint in the region while offering travelers another convenient way to experience both San Juan’s vibrant capital and St. Maarten’s world-renowned beaches, culture and hospitality.
The new flights come as Contour is also planning to add flights to Dominica from both San Juan and St Thomas.
