On December 2, Curaçao welcomed two inaugural flights from LATAM, the largest airline group in Latin America. First, the LATAM flight from Bogotá, Colombia, landed, followed later in the day by the flight from Lima, Peru — introducing Lima as a new route for Curaçao.
Flights from Bogotá will operate three times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. The Lima–Curaçao route will also operate three times weekly, on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The new Peru connection aligns with Curaçao’s strategic goal of expanding travel links with South America, improving accessibility across the region. At the same time, the new LATAM connections offer more travel options for the local community.
As a key partner, LATAM helps strengthen Curaçao’s positioning as a leading tourist destination. Travellers from South America continue to seek authentic destinations where they can experience local culture, history, and heritage — something Curaçao proudly delivers.
During the welcome ceremony, Minister of Economic Development Dennise Williams, Gonzalo Ramirez, Director of Operations, North America, for LATAM, Ricardo Hernández, CEO of Curaçao Airport Partners, and representatives of Curaçao Airport Holding, including Priscilla Duin-Circkens, Chief Strategy Officer, and Julian Díaz de Pool, Commercial Manager, delivered remarks.
Later, Minister Williams and the Curaçao Tourist Board, represented by Managing Director Muryad de Bruin and Deputy Director Hugo Clarinda, presented commemorative plaques to Gonzalo Ramirez of LATAM, recognising the inaugural flights. Both plaques feature striking views of Curaçao’s city centre.
Additionally, the Curaçao Airport Partners, Curaçao Airport Holding, and the Curaçao Hospitality & Tourism Association joined other partners in the presentation.
The Government of Curaçao, the Curaçao Tourist Board, Curaçao Airport Partners, Curaçao Airport Holding, and the Curaçao Hospitality & Tourism Association extended their congratulations to LATAM on the launch of the new Lima–Curaçao and Bogotá–Curaçao routes.
