European travelers heading for warmer weather will have more options this winter, as TUI fly Netherlands is doubling its Amsterdam–Curaçao service for the 2025–26 season.
The airline plans to operate up to 17 nonstop flights per week between Dec. 17, 2025 and Mar. 24, 2026, a significant increase from its typical winter schedule. During the peak Christmas and New Year travel period, TUI will add an additional rotation, bringing the total to 18 weekly flights — nearly three flights a day at the height of the season.
The move follows strong demand on the route and comes as TUI marks 20 years of continuous service between Amsterdam and Curaçao. The carrier recently reaffirmed its commitment to the island by naming one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners after Curaçao, underscoring the destination’s importance within its long-haul network.
For travelers, the expanded schedule means greater flexibility for winter getaways and easier access to the southern Caribbean. More frequent service from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is expected to support both leisure travel and visiting-friends-and-relatives traffic, a key market for the island.
The increased capacity positions Curaçao as one of the most accessible Caribbean destinations for European visitors this winter, with steady service throughout the holiday season and into early spring.
