The Fokker50 PJ-KVM that InselAir is operating encountered an
electronic problem yesterday as a result of which all flights to Aruba and
Bonaire had to be canceled.
An aircraft from Aruba Airlines was chartered to transport passengers to
and from Aruba and as many passengers as possible were transferred to
other airlines. It turned out not to be possible to transport all passengers
since most flights of other airlines were full due to the Curacao North Sea
Jazz Festival. The non-local passengers that were stranded were
accommodated in hotels.
After elaborate troubleshooting that took the whole day, the aircraft
was declared airworthy again at 0300 Monday morning. On Monday an
adapted schedule will be operated to ensure that all passengers from
yesterday and today will reach their destination.
InselAir apologizes for the inconvenience.
