I have been to the Royal Aruban website. It is not really complete yet, but they are claiming 3 daily flights to Bonaire from Aruba. Does anyone know anymore information about that? Also, I remember that someone a while ago said that American may start using the F-100 to Bonaire instead of the ATR-72, and is this true?

The American Eagle has ceased all flights to Bonaire. Who knows what the future will bring! Avia makes one Daily (evening flight) trip to Bonaire/Aruba

I have tickets on AE from San Juan to Bonaire and back for 2/28/02 and 03/09/02, so I hope that they are still making some flights.

How do you know that AE is cancelling service? When I go to the AA website and type in the dates I plan to go to Bonaire (7/20-8/3) it says that AE is still servicing Bonaire. Also, www.caribbeanaviation.com has not made any notice of this cancellation.

I think Michael meant service to Aruba, NOT San Juan. AE cannot cancel service to BON. Not to worry (I hope). Annie

Michael did mean Aruba Bonaire on AE, not all AE flights. (Gave me a small anxiety attack just now before I read his message in context.)

AE just started daily service from San Juan to Bonaire last week by adding a Monday flight (was 6 flights weekly before that).

Jake,

Thanks for clearing that up for me as I am holding three tickets for March 5th. When I read the post I immediately went to AE and Travelocity's websites, both still showed my flights with no changes indicated. Whew!!!

Funny thing is I remember earlier post which said pretty much the same as your post, so I do not know why I got excited. Guess I am just a little sensitive about anything messing with my much needed Bonaire Time.

The good thing is that after the little cardio-vascular workout caused by Michael's post, I can take it easy for the rest of the day. :>{)}

Did not mean to cause any anxiety attacks. I should have been more explicit re AE and the Aruba/Bonaire flights. From all reports, the Eagle is quite happy with their flights and also would not be surprised if they added one or two more Jake, you needed a jump start after all that duck you ate last night.

Michael,

No harm was done, besides sometimes us old boys need our blood pressure stirred a little. Lets us know we are alive on slow days.

As I said, I did remember earlier post (plural)in which Bonaire Talkers were told about the Aruba-Bonaire flights being cut as well as AE proposing to add flights. Just had to go check for myself, which I should had stated, is something I have been doing every few days anyway.

8:45pm March 5 (or thereabouts) I will be on island. But who is counting?

I was rooting around the AA reservations site today, planning a 'dream trip', and found 2 flights on the same day SJU-BON. Wonder of wonders.
