Bonaire Gets New Delta Service from Atlanta

Tourism Corporation Bonaire has announced that beginning February 9, 2008 Delta Air Lines will launch a weekly nonstop flight from its Atlanta hub to and from Bonaire.

Delta Air Lines flight 371 will depart Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. arriving into Bonaire’s Flamingo International Airport at 3:10 p.m.

The return flight 370 will depart Bonaire Saturdays at 4:15 p.m. arriving into Atlanta at 7:55 p.m. Delta will use a 150 seat, 737-800 Boeing aircraft with 16 first class seats and 134 economy seats for these flights.

“We could not be more pleased with Delta Air Lines decision to initiate service to Bonaire,” said Burney el Hage, Commissioner of Tourism. “The service, which allows for connections from many Delta Air Lines flights into Atlanta, will not only make Bonaire more accessible from all across the United States, but will also increase the number of seats to Bonaire.”

“This flight is a great compliment to Bonaire’s existing non-stop service from the Southwest and Northeast U.S.,” said Ronella Croes, Director of the Tourism Corporation Bonaire. “We feel confident in saying that based on the success of our existing non-stop flights from the U.S., all signs are pointing to this flight meeting or exceeding our expectations.”
