InselAir (Curacao) is planning to acquire four more Fokker 70s from KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KL, Amsterdam Schiphol) this year adding to the three it bought in July 2014. CEO Albert Kluyver told CAPA in an interview that the Curaçaoan carrier's board is still considering the purchase which, if concluded, would see two delivered in early 2016 and two more in early 2017.

The CEO added that Insel Air is also planning to acquire one more MD80 series aircraft adding to the four MD-82s and three MD-83s already in service with both it and its InselAir Aruba (Aruba) subsidiary.

However, unlike the Fokker Aircraft (Woensdrecht), which will be used to grow the carrier's extensive Caribbean and Latin American scheduled route network, the added McDonnell Douglas twinjet will be used on charter flights between Miami International and Havana International, Cuba which Insel Air Aruba expects to launch during the third quarter of the year.

Insel Air recently announced it would acquire an undisclosed number of A319-100s for use on flights to southern Brazil and Argentina.

In all, Insel Air is looking to tap into demand for premium travel and is now set to reconfigure its MD-XX fleet with a two-class layout featuring a new 8-seat Business Class cabin.
