Why should this airline be added?
The successor airline to ALM Antillean Airlines operating from 2002 until 2004. It leased and had Sobelair operate the 767-300 for the airline’s flights to AMS whilst the DC and MD fleet were used on flights around the Caribbean.It should be added as it was one of the final DC9 operators into SXM, flying in the 2000s and would be a fabulous option to have there, plus the MD82’s would be perfect for Continental US flights and potentially GRU/SCL, with the 767 providing a deep red for European airports. It would be an excellent addition but would require the 2010 rule to be pushed back a good amount.
Destinations,
Thought I’d include the sad end to this MD82 (Served from 1982 with ALM and then DCA to then be cut up in 2009 after finishing service in 2004),
