The popularity of Curaçao as a holiday destination continues to rise, and demand for flights is growing rapidly. TUI (The Netherlands) is responding with a significant capacity increase: a total of 30 additional flights will be added this winter, creating around 9,000 extra seats, of which approximately 6,000 will be available during the busy Christmas period.
Extra capacity this winter
Currently, TUI fly operates 13 flights per week to Curaçao, sometimes in combination with Bonaire or Aruba. From 17 December 2025 until 24 March 2026, 30 extra flights will be added. During the Christmas holiday – from 17 December until 17 January – four additional flights per week will be scheduled. For the first time ever, TUI fly will operate up to 17 weekly flights to Curaçao, marking a new milestone for the airline.
In the weeks after the Christmas season, until the end of March, an extra flight will be operated every Tuesday, bringing the weekly frequency to 14 flights. All additional services will operate non-stop to Curaçao and will not be combined with the other islands.
Christmas season demand
The extra non-stop flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao are designed to meet the high demand for travel during the holiday season – a time when many passengers fly to visit family and friends, as well as a popular period for Dutch holidaymakers seeking sunshine on Curaçao.
