Many questions on starting an airline

[Ramon F Herrera]

We are looking for advice on starting an airline based in the
Caribbean.

I am sure there must be many consultants for hire.

Any tips and pointers are most welcome.

Pretty much all of the above. One main concern, however, would be to
get all the paperwork/permits to operate in the Dominican Republic
(*). We had someone there with the permits and he was willing to sell,
but we balked, as he was asking for $6 million, when his aircrafts are
work $1.5 at the most. We know the permits are expensive and would
save us a lot of time and money, but they are not *that* expensive.

(*) this includes FAA.

I know someone that runs a 135 op out of the isalnds he daid FAA is the
bit*h all others are rather easy and some reconize the FAA 135 cert and just
want fees or bribes. Insurance costs is what will kill ya not the paperwork!
