Viva Dominicana will operate as Queen Air
It is not so difficult to guess what routes they will operate. As always the only routes everyone into are SJU MIA JFK, so there is nothing new. I don't think they will fly to Sydney or Osaka, so.
Here is the article (spanish):

Queen Air has received from the Dominican Republic Aeronautical Authority its Dominican Flag Carrier Certification on behalf of Viva. This approval is significant to Viva's plans, allowing Viva to begin to advertise, accept ticket sales and commitments and make arrangements for the eventual commencement of scheduled service.
It is expected that Viva will formally own 49 per cent of Queen Air in the near future.
Furthermore, the planned acquisition of Aerocontinente Dominicana will not go ahead as Viva expects that its deal with Queen Air provides it with the structure, licencing and tools to commence the operation of full service airline operations.
Viva has also purchased last April a Lockheed L1011-385-50 TriStar and two spare Rolls Royce RB211 engines and associated spares. This is the first of three wide-body aircraft planned for acquisition. This aircraft was formerly operated by Trans World Airlines and has recently undergone a heavy maintenance work package, strip and repaint, avionics upgrades and interior reconfiguration and modifications to seat 300 (28 in Business Class and 272 in Economy Class). The intention is to have this aircraft operated and managed by Tropical International Airways of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Dominicana, this article says flag carrier application. Would this mean they are applying for government backing?

it seems as an error in the wording of the press release. In avaition flag carrier is designated to only one carrier.
