  • Luchtvaartnieuws Uit De Nederlandse Antillen En Aruba 29-08-2010 / Arno Landewers
    Luchtvaartnieuws uit de Nederlandse Antillen en Aruba 29-08-2010 / Arno Landewers Aruba Airlines van start Op 11 juni overhandigde de Arubaanse Minister Oduber van Tourisme, Arbeid en Transport het Air Operator Certificate (AOC) aan Aruba Airlines. Hiermee mag de nieuwe luchtvaartmaatschappij commerciële vluchten gaan uitvoeren. Directeur Onno Swart ontving in aanwezigheid van de pers het felbegeerde document. Inmiddels heeft Aruba Airlines de eerste chartervluchten richting Venezuela uitgevoerd. De vluchten worden uitgevoerd met een Piper Chieftain. Het toestel was begin maart aangekomen op Aruba, en is in mei voorzien van een Arubaans kenmerk. Op de recent geopende website (www.arubaairlines.aw ) worden zowel passagiersvluchten als vrachtvluchten naar Curaçao, Bonaire en Las Piedras (Venezuela) aangeboden. Space Experience Curaçao krijgt steun Curaçao krijgt wellicht de beschikking over een spaceport, een vliegveld voor ruimtevliegtuigen. Space Experience Curaçao wil vanaf 2014 voor ongeveer 70000 EUR vluchten in een ruimtevliegtuig aanbieden, waarbij tot 100 km hoogte wordt gestegen tot in de buitenste lagen van de atmosfeer. Het vliegtuig komt in een zogenaamde sub-orbitale parabolische baan, waarbij het ongeveer een half uur gewichtloos is. Space Experience Curaçao is een initiatief van onder meer Harry van Hulten en Ben Droste (voormalig opperbevelhebber van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht), waaraan sinds 2008 concreet wordt gewerkt. Als ruimtevliegtuig is de XCOR Lynx geselecteerd. XCOR Aerospace, gevestigd in Mojave, Californië, heeft het ruimtevliegtuig ontwikkeld. De Lynx is sinds 2008 in ontwikkeling. XCOR heeft 9 jaar ervaring met de ontwikkeling van herbruikbare raketmotoren met niet giftige, vloeibare brandstof. Het privébedrijf bouwde in 2001 een raketmotor in een Rutan LongEz, en in 2008 in de uit de LongEz ontwikkelde X-Racer.

Home for the “Roses” was Eden Beach Resort. The original event launched by cancer survivor and cyclist Lance Armstrong was held in Austin, Texas in 1997. The benefit cycle race was so successful that the idea caught on in Europe and other places around the globe. Curacao held its first “Ride” in 2005 and today it is the biggest charity event they hold attracting more than 10,000 cyclists. Bonaire adopted the idea in 2016 thanks to Ride for the Roses president Jursi Marshall and ORCO Bank’s John Soliano. Jursi Marshall said, “My grandmother had cancer and I just wanted to do something to help.” Marshall said he heard about the Ride for the Roses in Curacao and liked the concept. He went to Soliano with the idea and that was the beginning for the Ride for the Roses in Bonaire. The main idea is to get everyone involved in a healthy and fun way to raise money for the people fighting cancer. Participants ride, walk, run and swim in memory of someone they know that has had cancer or is fighting against it now.

Together with Aruba and Curaçao it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles. The name Bonaire is thought to have originally come from the Caquetio word 'Bonay'. The early Spanish and Dutch modified its spelling to Bojnaj and also Bonaire, which means "Good Air". Coat of Arms Bonaire's capital is Kralendijk. Original inhabitants Bonaire's earliest known inhabitants were the Caquetio Indians, a branch of the Arawak who came by canoe from Venezuela in about 1000 CE. Archeological remains of Caquetio culture have been found at certain sites northeast of Kralendijk and near Lac Bay.
