everything its going crazy now with these dominican airlines...first we didnt have none, now there will be 3 and possibly 4 airlines in our little country. personally i think itll be too much competition if Sol gets the approval, Pawa Dominicana Starts Service To The U.S like it said, and Dominicana De Aviacion is reborned like its rumored to do this year. something tells me in a year or so after this 4 airlines go head to head (if they ever start) atleast 2 of them wont be succesful. but thats just my opinion

Will either Air Dominicana or Sol be flying from/to JFK or Newark? If so, does anyone know when they are supposed to start operations, or at least ticket sales?

Thanks.

something tells me this airline is gonna have yet another delay..i mean shouldnt they start spreading the word by now? isnt that the smart thing to do in order to have a profitable start? you dont even have to be an aviation expert to know that. sure they wanna keep everything a secret but is that a smart thing to do? its not like the avarage traveler even knows this airline even exist. same goes for Sol, i mean even PAWAD is doing a little promotion over here in the U.S and they dont even fly here yet.
