Tourism Corporation Bonaire recently announced increased service to Bonaire from the U.S. Delta will add an additional weekly flight on Friday, effective August 22, providing Bonaire with a Friday-Saturday pattern for the fall and early winter. Delta will operate a 737-800 on the flight with 16 Business Class seats and 138 Coach seats.
The schedule will be the same as on Saturday. Flights depart Atlanta at 9:45 a.m. and arrives in Bonaire at 1:55 p.m.
Through a market support agreement with United, the Houston flight will continue in September, providing uninterrupted service year-round. Both flights have been added into the respective airlines’ systems.
“This is the first significant expansion of service from a U.S. carrier since the economic crisis of 2008," said Ethsel Pieternella, Bonaire's director of tourism in a written release. "We will have to increase our marketing efforts and grow our markets commensurately in order to fill the additional seats. It will be a challenge, but I have no doubt that together we are up to the task.”
