TAP Air Portugal has began a twice-weekly service from London to Curacao, via Lisbon and Oporto, in December 2002. Originally the airline served only Caracas but due to ongoing political instability they have now included Curacao in the schedule for crew rest and refuelling the aircraft. Each service stops in Caracas en-route to Curacao. Curacao, is situated 35 miles north of Venezuela, nestled between Aruba and Bonaire ” its Dutch Caribbean neighbours. The island enjoys year round temperatures of 27C and is located outside the hurricane path. Famous for its blue liqueur, the island is also known for its eco-tourism and pristine diving conditions. http://www.curacao-tourism.com http://www.tap-airportugal.pt
