An FBO and GAT operated by Universal Aviation at Queen Beatrix International Airport
On behalf of our team,
welcome to Aruba!
The experience we strive for every time is a fast, stress-free, and relaxing welcome. We are the only GA Terminal/FBO on the island of Aruba, and in the Caribbean. Business jet operators will appreciate our separate GA ramp, with close and easy access.
Our staff is trained to make your trip as smooth as possible. We work to ensure that you get what you need, when you need it, from touch down to take off.
Visitors fall in love with our island’s sun, beaches, and friendly people. That warmth begins the moment you meet our staff.
I look forward to working with your on your next trip to Aruba.
Sincerely,
Claudio Stamper

Directions
Directions to airport
From all hotels on the island, head east on the main road, which will take you all the way to the airport.
Directions to office
Drive past the front of the airport terminal around the parking lot, moving all the way to the right lane before reaching the traffic lights. The lane will guide you in the direction of San Nicolaas. Driving east, take the first exit to the right before the Mahuma crossing. Drive that road to its end and turn left. Drive along the airport fence without exiting to the "T" intersection; turn right, then left, at the next intersection. Drive to the end of the street and turn right. After you drive along that road for about 100 feet, a sign on the left will indicate the direction of the GAT. Turn right just across from the sign and follow an "S"-shaped road all the way to the GAT parking lot.
