Corendon Dutch Airlines

Corendon Dutch Airlines (CD) is a dynamic Dutch charter and scheduled airline, operating as a key subsidiary of the Corendon Tourism Group. Founded in 2010 and launching flights in 2011, it is headquartered in Badhoevedorp, near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), its primary hub alongside Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST). With a modern fleet averaging just 2.4 years old, the airline specializes in leisure routes, connecting the Netherlands to sunny destinations across Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.

Initially starting with Boeing 737-800s, Corendon Dutch has evolved rapidly, transitioning to efficient Boeing 737 MAX 9s in 2023 for short-haul operations to hotspots like Turkey, Greece, Spain, Bulgaria, Egypt, Morocco, and The Gambia. A standout feature is its wet-lease Airbus A350-900, introduced in late 2023, serving long-haul escapes to Curaçao and Bonaire—complete with an innovative 'Adult Only Zone' for a peaceful premium experience.

What sets Corendon Dutch apart is its bold innovations: in 2025, it unveiled the world's first fully tattooed aircraft, a 737 MAX 9 named 'Sweet Louise,' celebrating the Corendon Group's 25th anniversary. As a sister to Corendon Airlines (Turkey) and Corendon Airlines Europe (Malta), it benefits from group synergies while holding its own Dutch Air Operator's Certificate.

Catering primarily to tour operator Corendon holidays, it blends affordability with comfort on 28 routes. Passenger feedback highlights value but notes room for improvement in entertainment and consistency. Safety is a strong suit, earning high marks. Ideal for budget-conscious sun-seekers, Corendon Dutch Airlines delivers reliable, fun getaways with a touch of flair.
