Sept. 21, 2007

A weekly non-stop flight service between Atlanta-Bonaire is to be launched by Delta Airlines from February 9, 2008, as per an announcement made by Tourism Corporation Bonaire.

A 150 seat, 737-800 Boeing aircraft with 16 first class seats and 134 economy seats is to be utilized for the service.

According to Burney el Hage, commissioner of Tourism, 'We could not be more pleased with Delta Air Lines decision to initiate service to Bonaire. The service, which allows for connections from many Delta Air Lines flights into Atlanta, will not only make Bonaire more accessible from all across the United States, but will also increase the number of seats to Bonaire.'

Ronella Croes, director of the Tourism Corporation Bonaire, stated, 'This flight is a great compliment to Bonaire's existing non-stop service from the Southwest and Northeast U.S. We feel confident in saying that based on the success of our existing non-stop flights from the U.S., all signs are pointing to this flight meeting or exceeding our expectations.'
