Aeromar LAD
Well problems problems problems...
Aeromar planning was not on time, the management was not good, but if a flight can not be profitable you need to continue to make it profitable, well Aeromar have says that their fould was or both floulds Aeromar and Investors to sell 7000 tickets for December High Season. the Investors says that they will order some aircrafts for Aeromar and that was the reason why Aeromar has continue selling tickets. Aerodom also doesnt want to have a client lesser.
About the route New York Santo Domingo
Aeromar or any carrier that will fly these route need to have a good budget, first years are extremly expensiv also that the DR is a CAT 2 country make to lease aircrafts expensiv. Air Santo Domingo also have seen that this route is not profitable all the money that you earn goes to costs and lease of aircafts.
Aeromar have done a good job with poor end, a lot of problems the last year just the economic situation have make this true that Aeromar have closed operations till new notice. Aeromar havent declared bankrupt, so this airline can be in the air at one time again.
What was the reason that Aeromar have financial problems and doesnt pay?
in the Aviation World is not just only flying to JFK to SDQ, their is more, due high fuel costs and economic crisis cant Aeromar make profitable flights, the last year were better then the last years but the money that they have earned was not enough to keep in air!
What for the future?
Aeromar is out service, Air Santo Domingo is just new and doesnt have a big image as Aeromar, So a lot of people doesnt know a lot of ASD, American Airlines will increase ticket prices also Continental because their is no competency we are just few years more with the same situation.
Air Santo Domingo want take over Aeromar's routes but if Aeromar can't make profitable why Air Santo Domingo can do it?
The future of this route is just high season 1 daily and mid/low season 3 weekly flights for Air Santo Domingo.
Would we see Aeromar back in air?
Well everybody says No, and i think the same answer NO, but negotiations is still there, dont forget a lot of investors have interest in Aeromar,ok they have now a BAD IMAGE bad the investors just want take over Aeromar , new management new airline, new aircrafts, so long we need to confirm that Aeromar life is just over.
Again a Dominican Air line declared banckruptcy, would the consuments fly any other dominican airline again, is thit bad for Air Santo Domingo?
Well ASD need to establish for at least 5 years on this route then can the people trust a dominican airline, prices are one of the reasons why people fly unknown airline, Air Santo Domingo is good but they need to have their fares very low, the most people doenst Trust a new DOMINICAN based Start Up airline.
Are their any rumours about the current situation of the Aviation in the DR?
Rumours that ASD have bought a B737-300 registred in USA under the FAA regulations to fly JFK-MIA and a B752 ordered also owned and registred in USA.
If we can trust DGAC then the DR will be back in CAT 1 this year (2004)
