Fina

Fina airlines is planning to start its reservation system mid-August. I got this from Fina's through an email enquiry (see their website for email adress)

On their webpage they mention round-trip fare of $99 (restrictions) from Puerto Rico to Santo Domingo. I don't know what the regular fare will be.

Fina is an Charter airlines, Fina can not fly regular to the DR.

They can get in trouble for false advertising and perhaps even looking into internet fraud since they are publishing they are a properly certified carrier at this time and they are not they have no authority from F.A.A. to actively publish they duly authorized as an air carrier.

Avionics:
Here goes, the first six words on the Fina website state they are a liscensed passenger airline this of course is being distributed over the world wide web.

1) Fina has yet to receive F.A.A. air carrier certification from their local FSDO that's short for flight standards district office just in case you did not know.
2)They have yet to receive full approval for their operations, maintenance, andtraining mannuals.
3)Then comes the good part which is 25 hours of proving runs with the certification team from their local FSDO(i hope you know what that means by now) which ultimately becomes their survaillanceteam they are called PMI,POI,and a principal avionics inspector.
During these proving runs discrepancies are found and they are to be corrected before a final certificate is issued, after this certificate is issued it only entitles the certificate holder for ON DEMAND OPERATIONS wich is not what they are publishing.
4)To 5 or more round trips per week in an aircraft of more than 10 passenger seats you need to be certified under the F.A.R. 121 regulations which is not the process being followed in this case.
So my friend by actively publishing in their website that they are licensed and by publishing 5 or more round trips in advance where it states days and times constitutes false information given out to the public.
