Travel giant TUI is planning an expansion of its flight service to Curaçao.

The company is launching an extra weekly flight on June 25 (in combination with Punta Cana), before another weekly flight is added this winter between Amsterdam and Curaçao.

That means there will be nine TUI flights to Curaçao every week, three of which will be nonstop flights.

It’s the latest flight boost for Curaçao, which has also seen a big increase in flights on KLM this year.
