KLM Arrival into Bonaire
We have received notification from United of the scheduled seasonalization of flights for this coming Fall and wanted to ensure you were aware of the changes:
Friday Houston Service
The flight will be on hiatus from August 31, 2012 to September 28, 2012. The service will resume on October 5, 2012
Saturday Houston Service
The flight will be on hiatus from August 25, 2012 to November 3, 2012. The service will resume on November 10, 2012.
Newark Service
The flight will be on hiatus from August 18, 2012 to November 3, 2012. Service will resume on November 10, 2012.
From August 31, 2012 to September 28, 2012 there will be no United service to the island. During that time period, Delta has already committed to monitor demand closely and upgage the Atlanta airplane should the demand warrant. We are in process of contacting Insel Air to see if they will protect the connections from AA and US over Aruba and/or Curacao, so we can confidently utilize them as an alternative.
United has already notified major tour operators of the seasonalization and they are in the process of re-accommodating passengers, so it is possible you will be hearing from potential guests and groups. We will keep you informed as developments materialize.
Regards,
