Martinair to reduce frequentie and changes

The new schedule is announced by Martinair Holland N.V

Martinair will be discontinue 1 flight to Punta Cana that will make 3 weekly to Puerto Plata, 2 weekly to Punta Cana and 1 weekly to Santo Domingo.

Amsterdam to Santo Domingo route , Martinair will fly from Amsterdam to Cancun and then to Santo Domingo from Santo Domingo departing around 11PM to Amsterdam, Martinair have chosen this option because flights to Amsterdam from Santo Domingo is always never good/full booked (except high season)

So till end March you need to fly from Amsterdam to Cancun 11 hours and then 2 hours back to Santo Domingo so better going to Puerto Plata

So Martinair have 5 weekly non stop flights to Cancun from Amsterdam and one of them is on Saturday via Santo Domingo.

I will publish schedule soon as possible

MP 617 AMS CUN 763 1150 1615 *****6*
MP 617 CUN SDQ 763 1800 2240 *****6*
MP 618 SDQ AMS 763 2355 1335 *****6*

This schedule is weird, trip time AMS SDQ is like 17 hours.

Actually MP always had a remarkble achievement to the book of delay records, they provide such a mini legroom, inflight service is very poor, but since it is a cheap carrier, well...

They will keep flying triangles this winter, AMS PUJ POP AMS and AMS POP PUJ AMS are presented, thanks God AMS POP SJU AMS is gone, that flight was weird. In case of SDQ passengers should use a route to SDQ with connections via NYC, this is faster.

LAN CHILE is reviewing possibility to purchase bankrupted colombian carrier Avianca. The carrier and its U.S. unit Avianca Inc. filed last March for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States and were granted more time to restructure debt. So Lan Dominicana will have a new brother soon.
