Also KLM will be the new member of Skyteam.

Would DL still consider flying to DR?

I guess DL will not start a direct flight from atl to SDQ or STI or POP etc? I mean, they have a code share with CO so why put their own planes on the same destination?
I would like to know if DL would still consider DR as a future destination from ATL?

for me, Continental is a future member of SkyTeam.

AZB... SDQ still on Delta plans for future route into the Caribbean...they still in negotation with the Dominican Republic goverment.

SO maybe for next year they will operate a 757-200 or 737-800 to SDQ.

So they will keep me update of any future information.

Delta came to DR, but when? i listen that about 2 years ago.

I waiting that moment. Delta is good airline,

Latino 2002, Delta will operate soon to DR. or No?

i hope that delta begin a flight to santo domingo from atlanta or new york or florida.

STANLEY AND AZB.....FOR NOW DAL STILL PLANING TO OPERATE ATL TO SDQ....BUT HAS BEEN DELAY SINCE SEP11,2003.


RIGHT NOW THEY DONT WANT TO SPEND$$$$ ...SO LETS SEE FOR THE MIDLE OF 2004.

Sam, Its always next year. I am getting sick of hearing this from DAL. When you send them an e mail, you only seem to get a computer generated reply: "we are always studying new routes.....etc etc..."

Sam, when this DAL: ATL - STI / SDQ route does materialize, we must celebrate this event in STI, the AZB way. I promise you a time you will never forget.....so keep me posted on this issue. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
AZB

P.S. I will see you in the end of july on concourse E. Is that where you work?
