Delta’s New Route to Curaçao
Delta Air Lines will launch a flight to the Caribbean island of Curaçao in December, resuming a route the airline hasn’t operated in more than a decade. Starting Dec. 16, the carrier will provide flights to this Dutch Caribbean island from its hub in Atlanta on Saturdays. Notably, Delta has not served Curaçao since 2010.
“Building on its leading position at its largest U.S. hub, Delta will be the sole airline providing direct flights to Curaçao from Atlanta. Moreover, this opens access to over 100 U.S. cities for travelers seeking this tropical destination through convenient one-stop connections,” Delta wrote in a statement.

The new route will operate on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft and will feature first class, Delta Comfort+, and a main cabin for passenger comfort.
Popular Caribbean Destinations
Alongside Curaçao, Delta also provides flights to numerous popular Caribbean destinations such as neighboring Aruba, Mexico’s San José del Cabo, and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Curaçao, regarded as the “C” in the ABC islands, is part of a trio of Dutch Caribbean islands located just above South America and below the hurricane belt. Currently, direct flights are available from the United States, including American Airlines flights from Miami and a JetBlue flight from New York.
Expanded Holiday Schedule
In a significant development, Delta stated that its Latin America holiday schedule will be the largest in the airline’s history, with a 20 percent increase in capacity this year compared to 2022. Consequently, the airline will enhance the frequency of flights to popular destinations such as Cancun, Nassau, Punta Cana, and San Juan, and will initiate nonstop service to Cozumel from Atlanta and Minneapolis.
Additionally, Delta will add new flights to Colombia in collaboration with LATAM Airlines later this year. This will offer daily service between Miami and Medellín on LATAM and from Atlanta to Cartagena. Furthermore, in a move closer to home, Delta is expanding its service from Las Vegas with new routes to and from Sacramento, San Diego, and Austin in October.
