KRALENDLIJK- The Association of Dutch Caribbean Airports, DCCA, is organizing a week-long event on sustainable aviation in November of this year in collaboration with Aruba Airport.

During that week, DCCA wants to present future-oriented alternative air transport options to make the connections between the Dutch Caribbean islands more sustainable. The aim is to acquaint the public with the currently available solutions and to meet with representatives of companies, partners in aerospace, educational institutions, research institutions, governments, consultants, investors and all those generally interested in this topic.

For the event, DCCA, together with the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Center (NLR), will bring the NLR two-seat electric aircraft from Europe, which will perform test flights from Aruba Airport.
