“Passenger Flow Control” at Check-in for US-Bound Passengers
As informed by the Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA), the company that manages and operates Aeropuerto Internacional Reina Beatrix (AUA Airport) as of December 1, 2021, all US departing passengers are allowed access to the check-in terminal based on groups and color codes for each group at the airport as part of the “Passenger Flow Control” for all passengers to the USA.
Adaptations have now been made because of daylight savings time in the US as of March 13, 2022. The time frame for check-in for the YELLOW group has now been adapted to be between 08:00 – 11:00 hrs (8 AM – 11 AM noon). The time frame for the BLUE group has also been further adapted to now be allowed to check-in between between 11:00 and 13:00 hrs (11 AM and 1 PM). The ORANGE check-in time frame has also been adapted to now be between 13:00 hrs and 15:00 hrs (1 PM – 3 PM).
The Passenger Flow Control concept entails that passenger are allowed to enter the check in facilities based on separate groups (Yellow, Blue and Orange) established by the scheduled airline departure times. Passengers will thus receive a dedicated timeslot to enter the terminal as indicated in table below.
