Well the Felucho question was answered today, he's stepping aside Aug. 15 he sayd, so as a wild guess I'd say the push for Air Dominicana has lost it's biggest booster, and I doubt Air Europa will step up to the plate with more money.

First of all, Air Dominicana is not flying a 737-200. At no point has there ever been mention that they will be operating such a relic. Even AD understands that the -200 series is too antiquated. However, they are flying a 737-300 which is definitely a step up but not exactly the most modern 737 variant. If you fly into SDQ, you will see it parked in the cargo ramp on ramp stand C4.

The airline is already flying as a Part 135 carrier - on demand/charter flights. They're already flying to Venezuela, and other South American destinations.

International Travel

Does FAA provide safety oversight for international flights?

Under the International Convention on Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention) each country is responsible for the safety oversight of its own air carriers. Other countries can only conduct specific surveillance activities, principally involving inspection of required documents and the physical condition of aircraft.

FAA conducts the International Aviation Safety Assessment Program (IASA), assessing the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of each country that has carriers operating to the United States. Because of the provisions of the Chicago Convention and national sovereignty, FAA is not permitted to evaluate a foreign carrier within its own sovereign state.

An IASA assessment determines if the foreign CAA provides oversight to its carriers that operate to the United States according to international standards. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations agency, and Annexes 1, 6, and 8 of the Chicago Convention develop those standards.

If the CAA meets standards, FAA gives that authority a Category 1 rating.

* Category 1 means the air carriers from the assessed state may initiate or continue service to the United States in a normal manner and take part in reciprocal code-share arrangements with U.S. carriers.
