Table explanation


This table describes the number of aircraft movements and the number of passenger arrivals and passenger departures at the airports of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba. These Caribbean islands have been part of the Netherlands as special municipalities as of 10 October, 2010.

Airports Caribbean Netherlands
- Bonaire: Flamingo Airport
- St Eustatius: F.D. Roosevelt Airport
- Saba: Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport

Data available from: 2012

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table for the period 2012-2021 are final. The figures from 2022 and beyond are provisional.

Changes as of 18 April 2025:
The monthly, quarterly and yearly figures for 2024 have been added. Until 2023, the data in this table are based on integral flight data from airport registers of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee combined with data from the Belastingdienst Douane of the Caribbean Netherlands. Due to the absence of 2024 data from the Royal Marechaussee, 2024 data were estimated based on the proportion of Douane-data from 2022 and 2023 combined, compared to the published data from both years; this proportion was multiplied by the 2024 Douane-data.

When will new figures be published?
The new figures for the 1st quarter of 2024 (including underlying monthly figures) will be available in September 2024.
