The Tourism Corporation Bonaire has announced that beginning on August 18th, BonairExel, a new airline based in Bonaire, will launch service from Bonaire to Aruba and Curacao and between Aruba and Curacao.
Subject to approval by the Antillean government, the airline will offer 14 flights per day between Bonaire and Curacao, 6 flights per day between Bonaire and Aruba and 4 flights between Curacao and Aruba, with many of these flights connecting to flights arriving from the U.S. 
On these routes BonairExel will use 46-seat ATR42 turboprop planes. The airline plans to add service to St. Maarten for which they will use an Embrarer-145 Jet, with 50 seats. 
“BonairExel will position itself as the quality regional airline from the Dutch Caribbean,” says Arian van der Werff, Deputy General Manager. “Punctuality and reliability are our key goals, with expertise and dedication to service our key assets. BonairExel will give both local people and visitors a choice, when traveling between Bonaire
and the islands of Curacao, Aruba and St. Maarten.”
Expected to be online by the end of August, the airline’s website www.bonairexel.an will offer schedule and booking information.  Passengers can book flights through any IATA travel agent using Sabre or Worldspan, at airport sales offices, and online, once the site is launched.
