Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport continues to expand its reach, with 25 airlines now offering 45 nonstop routes to more than 30 destinations as of mid-2025.

The growth reinforces the airport’s role as a key regional hub and highlights Aruba’s continued momentum in air service development.

That trend is expected to continue into the upcoming winter season, with several major carriers already confirming expanded service to the destination.

American Airlines is adding daily service from Chicago, improving access from the U.S. Midwest.

United Airlines will be operating daily flights from both Houston and Washington, D.C. during peak winter weeks.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is increasing its winter 2025–2026 service to nine weekly flights, enhancing connectivity from Europe via Amsterdam.

And in a boost for regional traffic, LATAM will launch a new seasonal route from Bogotá in December 2025, tapping into rising demand from Latin American travelers.

The developments are part of a broader strategy to strengthen Aruba’s position as a premier Caribbean destination, with growing interest from both North and South American markets and increased frequency from Europe.
