It’s the latest addition to Curacao for the company; in January, the airline launched new nonstop service on Thursdays between Montreal and Curacao.
The expanded service is launching this summer, helping to boost airlift to an island that received a major lift at the end of last year with new flights via JetBlue.
In December, JetBlue began operating nonstop flights between New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport and Curacao’s Hato International Airport.
After moderate growth of 2.5 percent in 2014, the island has seen big increases so far in 2015, with a 13.7 percent increase in stay-over arrivals in the first two months of this year, according to data from the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO).
