Flamingo International Airport or Bonaire International Airport is an international airport located at Kralendijk, Bonaire, Netherlands. Flamingo Airport serves as a connecting point for flights of KLM to some destinations in South America. It once served as a hub for BonaireExel, BonaireExpress, CuraçaoExel, CuraçaoExpress and now serves Dutch Antilles Express as its secondary hub along with Insel Air for its Miami flight and also EZAir serves Bonaire as well as Curaçao as its main airline, although the airline itself is based at Curaçao. The airport is also a fuel stop destination for KLM's flights to Ecuador.

It is the third largest airport in the former Netherlands Antilles, behind St.Maarten's Princess Juliana International Airport and Curaçao's Hato International Airport and is the fourth largest between the Caribbean islands of the Dutch Kingdom behind the already mentioned St. Maarten, Curaçao and Aruba's Queen Beatrix International Airport. Arkefly, Continental, Delta and KLM are currently the largest airline operators that operate scheduled flights to Bonaire.

The airport is large enough to accommodate most international wide-body airliners such as the Boeing 747, the Boeing 777 and the Airbus A340, although the largest wide-body type to operate to Bonaire today is the MD11 operated by KLM. The airport can also accommodate medium-sized aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A310 as well as small aircraft such as the de Havilland Dash 8, ATR 42 and other such turboprop aircraft.

The airport is also the only pink airport in the world.

Flamingo Airport Video

I have been restoring/preserving some of my family's old 8mm home movies, and this is vintage footage of my mom and brother (filmed by my dad) in and around Miami, Florida in the mid 1950's. The clip includes embarkation for a Bahamas cruise (on the ship SS Florida) from the Port of Miami... which, at the time, was located just off Biscayne Boulevard at the site of the present day American Airlines Arena and Bicentennial Park... the Miami News tower (now known as the 'Freedom Tower') can be seen in the background along with glimpses of the tops of the old Columbus and McAllister hotels. Other parts of the clip show the Goodyear blimp, a Cuban airliner taxying at Miami International Airport and scenes from the old Crandon Park Zoo and kiddie train ride on Key Biscayne.
