    Arriving at Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA): Your Transport Guide

    Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) is Aruba's modern international gateway, located just 3 km from the capital Oranjestad and the main Palm Beach resort corridor. Aruba lies outside the hurricane belt, making it a year-round destination with consistently sunny weather.

    Expert Transfer Tip

    I've landed at AUA seven times. It's one of the easiest arrivals in the Caribbean — ten minutes to Palm Beach — but the taxi line still stacks up when three flights land together, and the fare is cash and fixed by zone. Everything I've learned about Aruba transfers lives on my dedicated site, arubaairporttransfer.com — start there.
