Foreign Office warns travellers not to fly on major Caribbean airline
British holidaymakers have been warned by The Foreign Office not to travel on Insel Air, the national carrier of Dutch Caribbean island Curacao, due to safety concerns. “The US and Netherlands authorities have prohibited their staff from using the airline while safety checks are being carried out. UK govt officials have been told to the same as a precaution.” Boasting a fleet of 18 aircraft, and serving 26 destinations across the Caribbean and South America, as well as Miami in the US, Insel Air carried 1.4m passengers in 2016. The airline said: “Contrary to the information being circulated by the media...both airlines remain until now unaware of any findings from the Dutch Civil Aviation Inspectorate that would have an effect on the airworthiness of their operations." <br/>
