Curaçao International Airport / Hato International Airport (ICAO: TNCC / IATA: CUR)
Location (City, Country)
Willemstad, Curaçao (Dutch Caribbean)
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Regional Caribbean Hub / Medium International Airport. It features a single, long 11,188 ft (3,410 m) asphalt runway capable of supporting wide-body aircraft up to the Boeing 777, Airbus A350, and Boeing 747. It handles approximately 1.5 to 2.4 million passengers per year. It would introduce a highly unique, picturesque Dutch-Caribbean gateway to the game. It bridges the gap between short-haul island hopping and heavy long-haul operations. Adding TNCC provides a perfect opportunity to mix heavy transatlantic wide-bodies (like KLM and TUI) with high-frequency regional turboprops (like Divi Divi Air and Winair Twin Otters), creating a unique pacing challenge for players handling both ends of the aircraft spectrum.
