Divi Divi Air N.V. is a small regional service airline in Curaçao established in 2001.[1] The airline was named after the divi-divi trees which grow in the region.

History

Divi Divi Air Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander PJ-SUN, 2007

Divi Divi Air was founded on July 28, 2000, and commenced operations in 2001 with a fleet of Britten-Norman BN-2P Islanders to Bonaire. For over 20 years, Divi Divi Air has been flying a passenger route between Curaçao and Bonaire. Aruba was added as a destination by the airline in February 2018.[2]

Divi Divi Air began flights out of Curaçao to Aruba on February 15, 2018. This was followed by the launch of operations to Aruba out of Bonaire on February 17, 2018. The expansion signals that Divi Divi Air has joined Aruba Airlines and, formerly, Insel Air as the only known airlines connecting the Dutch Caribbean's ABC islands.

The Curaçaoan airline operates the Curaçao-Aruba service at least two times daily, the Curaçao-Bonaire service approximately ten times daily, while the flights out of Bonaire to Aruba are scheduled as one time weekly. All flights are operated by Twin Otter and the Britten-Norman Islander.

In October 2018, it was announced that Divi Divi Air, in collaboration with Corendon Dutch Airlines and the Curaçao Tourism Board, would commence flights to Sint Maarten and Brazil for the winter season. Corendon will station a Boeing 737-800 in Curaçao as part of a plan to make some of its fleet available for charter flights or on behalf of third parties during the quieter winter season in Europe. The aircraft was also to be used to execute flights to Aruba.[3][4]

In April 2020, it was announced that Divi Divi Air welcomed its third Britten-Norman BN-2P Islanders into the family. Also, a special 'Iguana Divi' livery was unveiled. This special livery is painted on their new Twin Otter.[5]
