|---|---|---|---|---|
| 277 | 24,581 | 19 | 22 | 15.3% |
Curaçao ranks 10th overall (45.3) and 11th regionally (52.2). It is a gateway with 18,899 extra-regional seats. Its seats are split fairly evenly across markets: Europe 31.6%, Latin America 25.1%, the Caribbean 23.1%, the United States 17.5% and Canada 2.7%.
Amsterdam (AMS) is the largest route by seats, with 26 departures and 7,770 seats on Corendon Dutch Airlines (CD), KLM (KL) and TUI fly Netherlands (OR). The busiest routes by departures are Bonaire (89) and Aruba (75), flown by Divi Divi Air (3R), Z Air (7Z) and Winair (WM).
The largest carrier, TUI fly Netherlands, holds 15.3% of seats (HHI 881), and 36.8% of destinations have two or more airlines. As a gateway, Curaçao received 87 extra-regional arrivals with 16,604 seats, 34.2% of them long-haul. All of those seats (100.0%) had a same-day option, to 5 islands, with a median wait of 1.8 h.
Of the seats arriving from Bonaire, Aruba and the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana and Santo Domingo), 2,380 are on legs of flights to or from Amsterdam. A code with no identified operator accounts for 0.3% of seats.
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 | 45.3 | #10 of 28 |
| Regional (Caribbean only) | 52.2 | #11 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUROSTAT | Inbound | Europe | 11 | 90.9% |
| T100I | Inbound | North America | 12 | 85.8% |
| T100I | Outbound | North America | 12 | 84.9% |
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.
