The Discover Dominica Authority recently shared exciting news for travelers. Starting October 29, 2025, United Airlines will add a second weekly nonstop flight from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Dominica’s Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM).
This new Wednesday flight joins the existing Saturday service, giving visitors more options to plan three-, four-, or seven-night trips to the island during the winter travel season.
With this expansion, exploring Dominica’s stunning landscapes and vibrant culture is now easier than ever.
More Access to Dominica’s Natural Wonders
Dominica, often called the “Nature Island,” is a gem in the Eastern Caribbean. Known for its lush rainforests, dramatic waterfalls, and unique attractions like the Boiling Lake, it’s a haven for adventurers and nature lovers.
The addition of this new flight reflects growing demand for travel to the island, especially from the U.S. tri-state area.
“This second nonstop flight from New York opens up Dominica to even more visitors,” said Hon. Denise Charles-Pemberton, Dominica’s Minister of Tourism.
“We’re thrilled to welcome travelers to experience our island’s beauty, adventure, and warm hospitality.”
The tri-state region is a key market for Dominica, and this expanded service makes it simpler for East Coast travelers to visit.
A Growing Destination
Dominica’s popularity has surged since United Airlines launched its first nonstop flight from Newark in February. The island is seeing a wave of growth and innovation, making it a top Caribbean destination.
One major highlight is the upcoming debut of the world’s longest detachable cable car in December. This 4-mile ride will connect the Roseau Valley to the iconic Boiling Lake in just 20 minutes, turning a challenging six-hour hike into an accessible rainforest adventure.
The island is also expanding its accommodations. Several new hotels and resorts are set to open through 2026, offering visitors more choices for a comfortable stay. These developments enhance Dominica’s appeal, ensuring travelers enjoy both adventure and relaxation.
Winter Escapes
The new flight coincides perfectly with Dominica’s winter travel season. The island’s upcoming winter campaign will feature special offers and curated experiences designed for travelers seeking a warm escape from colder climates.

About Dominica
Not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, Dominica (pronounced Dom-in-EEK-a) is the youngest island in the Caribbean. Located south of Guadeloupe and north of Martinique, it gained independence on November 3, 1978.
Its untouched beauty, from volcanic landscapes to vibrant marine life, makes it a unique destination. Whether its hiking through rainforests, diving in pristine waters, or relaxing at a new resort, Dominica promises an unforgettable experience.
