Queen Beatrix International Airport

Queen Beatrix International Airport (TNCA) is a large airport in Oranjestad, U-A, Aruba. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code TNCA or IATA code AUA. It sits in North America.

Queen Beatrix International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Queen Beatrix International Airport sits near sea level at 60 ft.

Local operations run on America/Aruba. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 3 departing and 2 arriving private-jet legs at TNCA across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

As one of the larger fields in Aruba, TNCA tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
