## Description

KLM anchors Bonaire's Flamingo International, flying wide-body services from Amsterdam — a legacy of the airport's former role as a KLM staging and connecting point between Europe and South America. Ground handling is in the hands of Swissport. Freight and mail facilities exist, but cargo is modest: under 1,000 tonnes a year, carried entirely in passenger belly holds with no dedicated freighters. Alongside KLM, American (Miami), United, Delta (Atlanta) and TUI serve the island, while Divi Divi Air and EZAir run the short shuttle to Curaçao (CUR). As the main airport of the Dutch special municipality of Bonaire, it is the diving island's principal air gateway, though heavy and bulky imports arrive by sea through the port of Kralendijk. Curaçao acts as the regional collection point for air freight. Customs follow the Caribbean Netherlands regime, with a local import levy rather than EU VAT.
