Hi all,

Yesterday a Federal Judge ordered the Antillean Government to grant BonairExel all necessary permits and licenses to begin operation. The permissions must be granted by 31 January or a NAƒ10.000 per day fine is imposed automatically. The announcement was made by the head of the Bonaire Government, Ramonsito Booi, last evening at the Plaza Resort.

Does anyone know how we can get in touch with them yet? Any chance for direct flights to/from Miaimi?

Mike, I haven't been able to find anything yet. No website (www.bonairexel.com exists, but it appears to be some travel agency), no information on the site of AirExel (the dutch KLM daughter)... The planes are reportedly ready to go, but when and how is still a mystery, at least to me

Jeez, I go and have the flu for a week, and miss this great news. Disney World here I come (via BonairExel)! :-)

The flu? Again?? Hey, I thought living on Bon was much more healthy? :-P

That is great news!!! .... this would open up more connections thru Aruba (which many US airline companies operate).

Gregg, I doubt that last bit. KLM is accused (mainly by Curacao) of using BonairExel to try and slowly strangle DCA to death. The other islands are not that eager to help BonairExel see the light of day.

Hey do not underestimate DCA, they are perfectly capable of strangling themselves to death without any help from third parties......

Marc...I wish they'd quit squabbling over these issues...I don't think Air Aruba and ALM went belly up due to lack of potential revenue...their costs exceeded their revenues....RAA never was in the game
