Curacao’s Insel Air Adds Flexibility to Service

The recent signing of an interline agreement with US Airways and Curacao-based Insel Air has given travelers more flexibility in planning their vacation to the island of Curacao. All US Airways routes will be connecting seamlessly, within one and a half hours, of Insel Air departures to Curacao from Miami International.

The interline agreement is also accompanied by the insertion of new aircraft –the MD-82, which arrived in Curacao last week- into Insel Air’s ever-growing fleet. Prior to the signed agreement, Insel Air complied with all standards of IATA Clearing House, the international institute where transactions between airlines are cleared.

In addition to the daily service to Curacao on Insel Air via US Airways, starting Nov. 19 American Airlines will offer twice daily service from Miami International (MIA); Continental offers weekly service from Newark (EWR); Delta Air Lines offers weekly service from Atlanta (ATL); and Air Jamaica offers connections twice weekly via Montego Bay from Baltimore/Washington (BWI) Philadelphia International (PHL), and Chicago O’Hare (ORD).

The agreement has since been filed by IATA and published in the current IATA Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement (MITA) Concurrences. The island’s Curacao Now promotion offers a $200-per-person airfare rebate, $200 food and beverage credit, a free night at participating hotels and more.
