Cross your fingers.

I don't know if they are good and bad but it is probably riskier than AA or CO whether you "like" them or not. Size counts.

Just don't come back in January and belly ache that they are not available etc., late, no food, changed flights, out of business and so forth.

josephine GO AHEAD!!!

ASD is a very good company SAFE and reliable, service according to passenger they have a EXCELENT on board service allways on time.

Have a good flight!!

Well there's the other opinion

They have 3 planes and are selling Christmas fares from NYC to SDQ for US$109.00 in a market that should be able to command 4 times that fare, particularly with Aeromar's death, since you have all those Aeromar passengers with no airline any more. Why you would sell low-ball fares when you don't have to is a financial mystery.

This sounds familliar, but they have been around since 1998 and that's longer than Aeromar.

You make a decision and take the risks that go with it.

You might want to read the other thread called "Air Santo Domingo and Listin Diario" which does not make me have a lot of confidence as it appears to be the same sort of operation Aeromar had - e.g. a foreign operator rented by Dominicans.

The $109.00 originates in Santo Domingo and by the way your precious American is also publishing the same fare northbound.

I think ASD has been in the game longer than Aeromar.

Air Europa created it and then S.A.P. bought it.
S.A.P. it's a big regional airline they know how to work a company they have flying for a while they have a fleet with around 25 airplanes including the Beechcraft 1900D and 1 Embraer Brasilia EMB-120, those are very good airplanes they have dominican crew, they fly to Puerto Rico from HEX to SIG and SJU and from SDQ to SJU with a 727-200ADV I think, so they are NOT a new airline just guessing around, they know how to handle it.
I know they are wet leasing planes, but that doesn't mean they'll be outta here as soon as Aeromar.
Aeromar was a freighter carrier, they DID star trying with passenger they did good for a while, but there a lot differences between one and the other. Aeromar, probably didn't have the same experience and maybe tryed flying too high. They wanted go too far in a short time.
Boeing 747 from SDQ to JFK!!! Weird ain't it???
So, let's see, let's wait, let's hope the best, cuz maybe a good dominican(even if it's only the name) carrier can make the difference in a few years with the cat2.
