Also commenting on the route launch, Tourism Corporation Bonaire’s CEO, Miles Mercera, said, 


“We looked forward with great excitement to the arrival of our guests from Canada, and the much-anticipated day is finally here with the first WestJet flight landing in Bonaire.  Canada remains one of our top 10 markets, and this historic new connection signifies a major step in accommodating the increasing desire for tourism on our picturesque island.”
