Inspired by this mantra, Curaçao Airport Holding N.V. (‘CAH’) is committed and dedicated to achieve its standards of excellence: ‘the future is now’! Taking the dynamics into account with the fast changing components in the aviation industry, CAH has realized that in order to contribute to a sustainable future of the island of Curaçao, it must always be willing and able to increase and utilize the full potential of its Airport.

CAH is the owner of the Airport and it’s territories and is tasked on behalf of the government of Curaçao with the task to supervise airport operations, enable growth in air service development and develop the territories around the area. The current airport operations and assets have been contracted to Curaçao Airport Partner who is responsible for managing the assets and operations in line with the contractual stipulations of CAH.

These are all strategic opportunities that inspire CAH in its leading role as a pro-active enabler, ensuring the development of the International Airport of Curaçao and the development of it’s territories as one of the best in the Caribbean.
