Contour Airlines connects St. Thomas to St. Maarten with ERJ-135

On October 5, Contour Airlines inaugurated scheduled operations between Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas and Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten. The sector operates twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, with flight durations scheduled between 55 minutes and one hour across the UTC-4 time zone.

The regional carrier deploys 30-seat Embraer ERJ-135 aircraft on the route. The passenger cabin features a 1-2 seating layout without middle seats, offering a 36-inch pitch, inflight service, and a dedicated cabin crew member.

This nonstop connection expands the Caribbean presence of the Smyrna, Tennessee-based operator, which established regional services in September 2025 with routes from Dominica to St. Thomas and San Juan, followed by San Juan–St. Maarten in November. On the same date, Contour also launched flights between Dominica and Port of Spain, providing continuing single-plane operations toward San Juan and St. Thomas. To feed onward traffic across the Eastern Caribbean, Contour utilizes an interline partnership with Winair established in May.
