Viva Opens Dominican Sales Offices in Advance of Prior Plans and Prepares for Operations
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)----Viva International, Inc. (OTCBB:VIVI) announced today its subsidiary Viva Air Dominicana, S.A. has officially opened its sales and operations offices in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
The sales office location is at 27 de Febrero on the ground floor of the Edificio PJ Building between Churchill and Lincoln and is strategically located adjacent to other major airline carrier sales centers in Santo Domingo. The Dominican offices were opened in advance of its planned March date in response to numerous requests from tour group operators, hoteliers and others seeking to establish and explore potential commercial relationships with Viva. In addition, the office location will double as a training center as the Company begins final phase preparations for the commencement of services.
Pier Bjorklund, a company spokesman, was quoted, "Officially opening our offices even slightly in advance of our plans sends a message to local tour operators, other commercial enterprises and the governmental authorities that we are ready to do business."
Mr. Bjorklund also added, "Viva Air has continued to work closely with the Dominican government and other local authorities to complete the certification process and to become a scheduled flag carrier of the Dominican Republic. The recently announced acquisition of San Juan Aviation (Cool Tours, Inc.) by Eastern Caribbean Air has created the opportunity for Viva Air Dominicana, S.A. to capitalize on immediate charter opportunities in the Dominican Republic and begin its program to create brand awareness during the certification process."
"In my opinion, the timing couldn't be any better, commented Oscar Hasan, President of Viva International, Inc. "People have been patiently waiting for us to be operational in the Dominican Republic for some time now. By taking advantage of the capability afforded us by utilization of the Eastern Caribbean Air connection (San Juan Aviation), we are in position to convert marketplace demand into revenues and begin the structuring of our first phase operational schedule."
Mr. Hasan has been on assignment in the Dominican Republic for the past 17 months working on the Viva business plan of an airline hub development in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He continues to remain on location to oversee the development and preside over decision-making and direction needed to bring the Dominican hub into scheduled service. The Company expects, with formal governmental approval, to begin its scheduled service portion of its operations during March, 2005.
