Delta, Continental, and American Airlines are outrageous charging $700.00 most of the time! If Jet Blue can offer low fares from NY to Santo Domingo for $250.00, why do the other 3 feel that they have to charge triple?? And why does the DR government have to charge so much in taxes? The high fares and the high taxes are a real deterent to tourist travel. |

Then, according to aviation experts, one high-tech system after another of the highly automated jetliner began going off line......You are .Eurotrash and this plane was Eurojunk Some airlies are lucky.... the infomation I gave was for not going bankrupt. 20 December 2008; Continental Airlines 737-500; Flight 1404; Denver, CO: The aircraft, which was on a scheduled domestic flight from Denver, CO to Intercontinental Airport in Houston, TX, departed the runway during takeoff and skidded across a taxiway and a service road before coming to rest in a ravine several hundred yards from the runway. The aircraft sustained significant damage, including a post crash fire, separation of one engine and separated and collapsed landing gear. There were about 38 injuries among the 110 passengers and five crew members, including two passengers who were seriously injured. http://www.flbranson.com/Continental_Airlines_Negligence_Lawsuit.html Yes BA has a better record than AF that is about on the par with AA.

First this air line is not going to compete with a with the other big ones already. if you look at the majors that are doing good like AA,Air France,Continental,NW airlines, United Air,Delta and many more who have been ran successfully and making profit. We must not forget that most fees of this air line coming into DR are most likely waived and that alone will reduce it's cost. If air europa didn't think it was good why are they taking such a chance with so much money in it. There are many air lines doing good i understand you point of view I'm not a fan of gov being involve in doing business because the risk fall on tax payers and they are not good for business to begin with but if this works out successfully this could bring profit. I have said before gov are not good business runner but saying it won't work is kind going to the extreme. "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
