Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) – Aruba's Departure Tax

For US-bound passengers, please note that departure tax is US $36.75. Aruba Airport has US pre-clearance, however, please note that it is not possible to transfer directly to a US-bound flight. A transferring passenger must follow full check-in procedures for the connecting flight and therefore pays the same charges as passengers originating from Aruba. If in Aruba on transit for less than 24 hours, these charges are waived for passengers transferring to non-US bound flights.
