Winair is operating the service on its 48-seat ATR aircraft. 

”We are thrilled to announce the reintroduction of flights to Bonaire from Curaçao and St.Maarten in partnership with Winair. This collaboration will provide enhanced connectivity and seamless travel options for visitors from St. Maarten and surrounding islands to experience the beauty of Bonaire. Additionally, it will offer the Bonaire community improved connections to Curaçao and convenient access to St. Maarten, Saba, and St. Eustatius.
