Worth knowing about Oranjestad
- Every flight from Aruba to the United States is precleared on the island by US Customs and Border Protection, so passengers arrive in the US as domestic arrivals.
- There are no bus stops inside the terminal: Arubus serves stops just outside the airport property.
- Taxi fares from the airport are set and regulated by the Government of Aruba and published on the official taxi.aw fare calculator, so there is no metered fare to check.
- The airport has a single runway (11/29) with eight bridge-served parking positions and fourteen remote stands reached by apron buses.
- Under the Gateway 2030 rebuild, access to the US check-in terminal is limited to three hours before departure.
