Terminal
A single 18,000 sqm building with six boarding bridges able to hold three widebody aircraft at once — CAP’s own description of the terminal it opened in late 2018 to replace the older building that carried the names "Hato" and Dr. Albert Plesman Luchthaven. Every flight, whichever of the operator’s named carriers or gateway it serves, shares this one footprint.
Check-in happens at airline counters or at one of eight self-service kiosks near the right-hand entrance, which print both boarding pass and luggage tag; hand-baggage-only travellers can skip straight to the Boarding Pass Control Reader. Only ticketed passengers are let into the Check-in Hall during peak periods, and the Britt Shop there sells souvenirs and chocolates filled with Curaçao Liqueur.
Every gel, aerosol or liquid over 100 ml stays out of hand baggage — what fits has to close inside one clear quart-sized bag — and no drink of any kind makes it past the checkpoint. CUR flags one detail most airports leave unsaid: its officers run the handheld scanner over passengers from behind rather than facing them, specifically to avoid a face-to-face pat-down.
One building, so there is no inter-terminal walk to plan for — but every transiting or connecting passenger, whatever their onward flight, must still clear the Security Checkpoint before reaching the departure gate, following the posted Transit/Connection signs from arrivals.
Sanwil Aviation N.V. coordinates wheelchair assistance, unaccompanied-minor escort and medical-passenger support on request. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard lets staff recognise a traveller who may need more time or help — though the airport is explicit that it does not by itself grant fast-track security or passport control. A Nursing Pod sits near Gate 5, and Kids Zone play areas are split between the East Wing (Gate 2) and West Wing (between Gates 4 and 5).
