GWV confirmed they will NOT offer charter service to Bonaire due to lack of interest.

Annie,
Do you know if they have dropped Bonaire entirely or just the charter? They use to do scheduled air packages as well as charter.

Gina at GWV said NO MORE anything to Bonaire. A friend from CA said no more charter from Canada either...

Too bad. My mom liked the non-stop, direct route. Althought AA and AJ work well out of Boston now. I'll have to update the InfoBonaire listing again.

Last year the charter was a shared flight,usually stopping first in Bonaire and then going on to Aruba. It is also my understanding that there were generally more Aruba than Bonaire passangers on board. So it seems likley that Aruba's recent (and very significant) decline in tourism weighed heavily in GWV's decision to cancel the flights. It is a sad loss for both islands.
