Bonaire
| Weekly departures | Weekly seats | Destinations | Airlines | Largest carrier share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 108 | 7,084 | 7 | 11 | 28.4% |
Bonaire ranks 21st overall (28.9) and 21st regionally (38.3). It is a spoke: it serves 3 Caribbean islands, and Curaçao takes 96.8% of its Caribbean departures. With 7,084 weekly seats, it is the largest spoke.
The Caribbean takes 52.8% of seats, Europe 36.6% and the United States 10.6%. Leading routes are Curaçao, with 91 departures and 3,562 seats on six carriers; Amsterdam (AMS), with 9 departures and 2,590 seats on KLM (KL) and TUI fly Netherlands (OR); Miami (MIA) with 3; Aruba with 2; and Atlanta (ATL) with 1.
KLM is the largest carrier at 28.4% of seats (HHI 1,738), and 28.6% of destinations have two or more airlines. Of its seats to Curaçao, 1,510 are legs of flights continuing to Amsterdam, and it receives 2,010 seats from Aruba on KLM flights that arrived there from Amsterdam. The Aruba–Bonaire and Bonaire–Curaçao route pairs are flagged for uneven directions. A code with no identified operator accounts for 1.1% of seats. In full-year 2025 data, departing flights to the United States were 76.1% full.
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 | 28.9 | #21 of 28 |
| Regional (Caribbean only) | 38.3 | #21 of 28 |

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 | North America | 12 | 75.7% |
| T100I | Outbound | North America | 12 | 76.1% |
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.
