Buy Aruba Airlines Flights with Alternative Airlines
Aruba Airlines is the flag carrier of Aruba. The airline is based at Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA), Oranjestad and flies to destinations across the Caribbean, as well as to Colombia. In addition, the airline flies indirect to Miami, US.
The airline was founded in 2006 but didn't start flying until 2013. Initially, the airline only flew charter flights but, in 2013, after gaining its Airlines Operation Certificate, it launched scheduled flights, with a single service to Maracaibo, Venezuela as its inaugural flight. Shortly after, it began offering more flights within the Americas and the Caribbean.
Aruba Airlines is currently the only Aruban airline and one of the main airlines flying to/from the islands, although passengers can fly to Aruba with airlines in the Caribbean. The airline was created to fill the gap that was left when Aruba's previous flag carrier, Air Aruba, ceased operations in the early 2000s. After Air Aruba stopped flying, a number of other Aruban airlines launched, but none of them survived for very long. Aruba Airlines is the longest-serving airline since Air Aruba.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.
From start to finish the process of selecting, confirming, processing of payment, timely travel docs, check-in experience was absolutely flawless! I will be using Alternative Airlines every time I travel!
Alternative Airlines made what would have been an otherwise difficult situation much easier to manage. Thank you, Alternative Airlines.
It was my first time using Alternative Airlines and it was one of the best experiences I had in booking my flights. The process was easy and the flight options were clearly laid out.
The support I received was stellar - response time was so quick and I love how they have a WhatsApp option for chatting.
So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.
Very easy to use. Helped me to plan my trip to Vancouver and the payment plan made things way easier and stress-free. Would use them again for sure.
I’ve used Alternative Airlines three times already, and each experience has been AWESOME! Their “Buy Now, Pay Later” options are such a game-changer.
My journey with Alternative Airlines was nothing short of excellent. Their commitment to providing a stress-free booking experience and diverse payment solutions has earned them my trust and loyalty.
This was a very simple and affordable way to book such a big trip! I love the way they show you the breakdown of what you are actually paying and your payment schedule. I highly recommend this!
What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
I have been using Alternative Airlines for the past 4 years and have never had a poor experience. Destinations are unlimited with a variety of options available for inflight upgrades.
