Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA) issued an official travel advisory this Friday, November 13, 2026, to inform the community and all travelers that flight operations between Aruba and the United States may face disruptions. This is the result of a nationwide “ground stop” reported by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
According to the statement from Queen Beatrix International Airport, this measure in the United States could directly affect scheduled air traffic, causing delays, schedule changes, or even flight cancellations for passengers traveling to or from U.S. destinations.
In light of this situation, AAA strongly urges all passengers to take the following precautions before leaving home:
Check flight status: Verify the status of your flight directly with the respective airline before heading to the airport.
Stay informed: Follow the official communication channels of both the airlines and Aruba Airport for any updates.
Follow instructions: Comply with the guidance provided by your airline regarding travel arrangements and schedule changes.
Despite the situation in U.S. airspace, AAA confirmed that Aruba Airport remains operational. Airport management is working in close collaboration with its airline partners and the relevant aviation authorities to closely monitor developments and assess any additional impact on local operations.
Finally, Aruba Airport thanks all passengers for their patience and understanding as this situation continues to unfold.
