Good stuff.
I've always said that VIVI was going to fly. Now the question is, are they going to last?
The investors seem to think so. Since the announcement of the sh!t canning of Scott the company stock has been up 70%.

[Papito_Chulo]

well, it seems that FINA/VIVA forgot that today is SEP 4th, they promised to open the sell for their flights on AUG15, then postponed to SEP 2, due Telephone Company delays and now they are in silence. So, will those flights transport air or they are completely sold out and they don't need to sell it?
What about deposit for BSP, do they have that money available? Let's see what will happen on OCT 2!

By the way, does anybody know if VIVA/FINA has a 2 letter IATA code and 3 digit number? If they do it means that they are 1 step further from being a virtual airline.

Viva se ve como una maravilla, pero se esta viendo como una falsa, hhmmmm?????????'

y ademas la RD tiene 4 aerolineas con grandes aviones con vuelos internacionales, y en buen estado y expandiendose, no se necesitan mas. Viva no hace falta.

Stanley Joaquín
El mercado es libre, estas aerolineas que tu hablas no cubren 100% del mercado.
Ojala vengan 100 mas..

[eli]

Cara tienes mucha razon, que vengan 100 mas pero no con el backround y ya la mala fama de las antes mencionadas.

[Stanley Joaquín]

que vengan 100 mas ok.

pero es que esta viva no se define. y tienes retrasos y en ningun lado ni el DOT de USA ni la JAC de aqui han recibido pedido por parte de viva y quieren empezar el 2 de oct.

y las de aqui no cubren 100% ninguna linea en ningun lado cubre 100% pero las de aqui estan cresiendo.

y el AILA tiene como base a 4 aerolineas, ya esta bien, ay otros aeropuertos que pueden acaparar mas como PUJ, LRM, STI, POP.
de mas lineas y vuelos si, pero de HUB en SDQ hmmm.
pero aver que nos depara el futuro.

[eli]

Creo que me mal interpretaste lo que me referi fue que 100 mas si pero no con la fama de las FINA/VIVA que antes de empezar ya nos han demostrado el tipo de operacion que aparentan ser."A BIG FAT ZERO"

[Stanley Joaquín]

bueno, espero que inicien, porque cuando lo hagan será que se cumplirian las palabras.
