Following January 3rd flight disruptions, airport operations are back to normal operations.
Passengers with confirmed scheduled flights are advised to arrive on time. Passenger Flow Control measures remain in effect, and the airport may be busier than usual as previously cancelled flights are being accommodated today in close coordination with airline partners and airport authorities, in a safe and secure manner.
Passengers traveling with carry-on luggage only, who already have their boarding pass and are within the airline check-in window, may proceed directly to the Immigration checkpoint. These passengers do not need to check in or enter the check-in hall. This measure is in place to support smooth passenger flow and reduce congestion inside the terminal.
Passengers whose flights were cancelled, as well as travelers without a confirmed flight, are strongly advised not to come to the airport and to contact their airline directly for rebooking and travel arrangements.
Passengers are encouraged to check directly with their airline and visit

15th on the 15th:
The AUA Airport and the JetBlue Airways team celebrated with a cake and snacks, JetBlue's 15th "Blueversary" (anniversary) operating into Aruba.
It all started with the announcement back in 2006 that JetBlue would start its operation into Aruba out of its home base, New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), with daily flights. Soon after that, in June 2007, weekly service out of Boston (BOS) was launched, which soon ramped up to daily service. Can you recall that special day back in 2014 when JetBlue brought Aruba's one-millionth passenger for that year to Aruba?
In January 2017, JetBlue added service out of Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and in November 2020, the latest destination, Newark (EWR), was added.
Today's JetBlue network out of the northeast and the south of the USA into Aruba is a testament to JetBlue's continued confidence in the destination. JetBlue is AUA Airport’s largest carrier now, with a market share of 27% of all departing flights out of Aruba. AUA Airport's partnership with JetBlue is invaluable and has grown strong and resilient, especially during the past trying times. Through the strong partnership built over the past 15 years, AUA Airport is confident that AUA Airport will continue to enjoy a fruitful relationship with JetBlue for many more years to come.
Happy 15th Blueversary JetBlue!
