Score and rank
The connectivity score is an index on 0–100 built from departures, destinations, airlines, hub links and seats; the regional score uses the Caribbean subset only. Both are defined in the methodology. Not a percentage — an island does not have "96% connectivity".
| Measure | Score | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 31.2 | #19 of 28 |
| Regional (Caribbean only) | 44.6 | #16 of 28 |
Destinations and airlines
Dominica has 9 direct Caribbean destinations and 2 beyond the region, with 56 of its 65 weekly departures staying inside the Caribbean. It has direct service to 2 of the index's connecting hubs.

Load factors
Actual passengers against actual seats, from Eurostat (2024) and BTS T-100 (2025). Monthly and historical: these do not describe the reference week. Route-months the source reports inconsistently are excluded, so every figure here is publishable.
| Source | Direction | Market | Months | Load factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T100I | Inbound | Caribbean | 8 | 51.4% |
| T100I | Inbound | North America | 12 | 76.2% |
| T100I | Outbound | Caribbean | 8 | 48.0% |
| T100I | Outbound | North America | 12 | 78.0% |
Low season against peak
Peak week pending. This edition measures the week of 19 October 2026 only, and that week is an early shoulder week rather than the bottom of the season — some winter services start in October and others in November and December. The peak week is collected separately, and no low-versus-peak comparison is shown until it exists.
