Trinidad and Tobago has declared a state of emergency following a surge in gang-affiliated murders.
The emergency declaration enforces curfews, heightened security measures, and restrictions on movement within the country.
John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City is the second-largest U.S. gateway to Trinidad and Tobago, second only to Miami International Airport.
JFK operates about 35 direct flights per week to Piarco International Airport in Trinidad, serving several thousand passengers a month. Miami operates about 50 flights to Piarco every week.
Can I still go to Trinidad and Tobago?
The U.S. Department of State already has a Level 3 travel advisory for Trinidad and Tobago, advising travelers to reconsider visiting due to crime.
But, U.S. citizens can still travel to Trinidad and Tobago with flights from JFK to Piarco currently operating as scheduled.
However, travelers should be aware of the state of emergency’s impact, including restrictive curfews and limited movements and increased airport security.
