WILLEMSTAD – TUI fly will significantly expand its flight schedule between the Dutch Caribbean and Amsterdam beginning in early April 2027, increasing services to Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao in response to growing demand for travel between the islands and the Netherlands.
The airline said the expansion will provide passengers with greater flexibility, convenience and more travel options.
Aruba will see its weekly flights increase from two to three. Services will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, offering travelers a better spread of departures throughout the week and more flexibility when planning their trips.
Bonaire will receive daily service, with the number of weekly flights increasing from five to seven. The schedule will include three nonstop flights from Amsterdam to Bonaire and four nonstop flights from Bonaire to Amsterdam.
Curaçao will also benefit from a major increase in capacity. Starting in April 2027, TUI fly plans to operate nine nonstop flights per week between Amsterdam and Curaçao, without stopovers at other airports. These services will be in addition to the two connecting flights that operate via Bonaire, providing travelers with more available seats and faster, more convenient travel options.
According to TUI, the additional flights reflect the growing importance of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao within the airline's network.
"With this expansion, we are giving our customers greater freedom of choice and improved travel options between the islands and the Netherlands," said Antoin Klein Hofmeijer, Head of TUI Dutch Caribbean. "At the same time, we are supporting the continued development of tourism, business travel and family travel to and from Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. The additional connections also provide greater convenience and a more attractive flight schedule for our customers."
TUI described the expansion as a long-term investment in the accessibility of the Dutch Caribbean. The airline believes stronger air links with the Netherlands will stimulate tourism, enhance the islands' competitiveness as vacation destinations, support local employment and provide residents, businesses and visitors with more travel flexibility.
The expanded schedule also underscores TUI's confidence in the continued growth of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao as attractive destinations for both leisure and business travelers.
