Curaçao Express was a regional airline based in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles. It operated flights between the islands of the Netherlands Antilles, mostly between Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

History

The airline started operations on October 4, 2004 with one ATR 42-500 and was formerly known as CuraçaoExel and later became Curaçao Express. It was wholly owned by Bonaire Participation. The airline was planned to expand with new aircraft types and destinations in the United States and South America. The airline merged with Bonair Express to form Dutch Antilles Express, which operated until it ceased operations at the end of April 2013.
