Starting April 2027, TUI fly is increasing the frequency of its flights between the Dutch Caribbean and Amsterdam. With this expansion, the airline is responding to growing demand for travel to and from Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, offering passengers greater flexibility, comfort, and choice through an increased number of direct flights.
-
Aruba: Weekly flights will increase from two to three per week, operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This offers passengers better distribution throughout the week and more options regarding trip duration.
-
Bonaire: Service will expand from five to seven flights per week, establishing a daily connection between Bonaire and Amsterdam. The schedule will feature three non-stop flights from Amsterdam to Bonaire and four non-stop flights from Bonaire to Amsterdam.
-
Curaçao: Offerings are also being further enhanced. From April 2027, TUI fly plans to operate nine direct flights per week between Amsterdam and Curaçao without intermediate stops, alongside two combination flights via Bonaire. This addition increases seat capacity while delivering a faster, more comfortable travel experience.
According to TUI, the increased frequencies underscore the vital importance of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao within the airline’s network.
Antoin Klein Hofmeijer, Head of TUI Dutch Caribbean, noted: “With this expansion, we offer our customers greater freedom of choice and enhanced travel options from the islands to the Netherlands. At the same time, we are supporting the further development of tourism, the corporate travel market, and VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) traffic across Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. Furthermore, the additional direct connections deliver greater comfort and a more attractive timetable for our passengers.”
Investing in island connectivity
Through this expansion, TUI fly is actively investing in the long-term future of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. Enhanced air connectivity with the Netherlands contributes to tourism growth, bolsters the islands’ competitive edge as holiday destinations, and supports local employment. Simultaneously, local residents, business owners, and visitors benefit from greater flexibility thanks to the higher volume of direct flights. The expansion reinforces TUI’s confidence in the continued development of the Dutch Caribbean as a key destination for leisure, corporate, and VFR travel.
