CUR Airport closes 2024 with a record-breaking 2,117,605 passengers!
Willemstad, Curaçao, January 19, 2025
Curaçao International Airport (CUR) proudly celebrates a record-breaking achievement, closing 2024 with an unprecedented total of 2,117,605 passenger movements. This milestone was reached in December 2024, when CUR welcomed its 2,000,000th passenger, a historic first in the airport’s history.
Surpassing the 2-million-mark places CUR Airport in a new category within Airports Council International (ACI), alongside airports with annual passenger volumes of 2 to 5 million. This achievement not only reflects CUR’s growing role as a key connection point for travelers but also underscores Curaçao’s appeal as a thriving destination.
December 2024 was the busiest holiday season ever at CUR, with visitors flocking to our island or connecting through our gateway to their next destination. This milestone highlights the incredible collaboration, dedication, and passion shared by the entire CUR Airport Community, including staff, stakeholders, and partners, who together processed this record volume of passengers.
Jonny Andersen, CEO of Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP), shared:
“Crossing 2 million passengers is a proud moment for all of us. It represents the hard work, teamwork, and dedication of everyone involved, from our incredible CAP staff to the many stakeholders who contribute daily to the airport’s operations. Despite the challenges posed by our current infrastructure and capacity, including the anticipated long queues during this record-breaking period, we managed exceptionally well thanks to the commitment and expertise of our team.
I also want to express my gratitude to every passenger for their patience and understanding as we worked to ensure a smooth journey, as well to our valued partners, including CAH, CTB, CHATA and the Government of Curaçao, for their essential support in making this achievement possible.
This milestone shows what we can accomplish when we work together toward a shared goal. It motivates us to aim even higher in 2025. Let’s carry this energy into 2025 with a renewed commitment to delivering an exceptional airport experience.”
As CUR Airport looks ahead, exciting developments are on the horizon to further enhance the passenger experience and strengthen Curaçao’s position as a growing travel hub.
