WILLEMSTAD - A milestone for Corendon Dutch Airlines. Seventeen new colleagues from Curaçao have successfully completed their training as the very first Curaçao Service Attendants and officially received their Wings; a badge worn by cabin crew. They are now ready to welcome passengers on the route between Curaçao and Amsterdam.

The arrival of these new colleagues marks a special moment within the operation. For the first time, Service Attendants from Curaçao will be deployed on this route, giving the connection an even more recognizable and personal touch.

During an intensive training program, the Service Attendants were prepared for their duties on board. In addition to practical preparation, service, teamwork, and hospitality were central elements of the training. At the same time, it was also about something that is more difficult to teach: how to bring the warmth of the island into the cabin, through contact with travelers and in the small moments during the flight. All with the goal of offering passengers a warm and familiar Corendon experience from the moment they step on board.

Kelly Otte, Managing Director of Corendon Dutch Airlines: “This is a step we have truly been looking forward to. Curaçao is very much alive among our travelers and has its own unique atmosphere. By having colleagues from the island itself on board, you immediately bring that atmosphere into the cabin.”

The training concluded with the presentation of the wings, followed by the handover of uniforms and equipment. From May 11 onwards, the new Service Attendants will officially be part of the crew on flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao.
