Diario Libre reports that the US$60 million plane purchased by Air Dominicana (AD) has not been moved from the airport in Santo Domingo because the company hasn't secured the necessary flight permits and clearance. Diario Libre writes that the Turks & Caicos and Venezuela have not cleared the flights. Reports indicate that internal squabbles and indecision on how to divide up revenue has also delayed AD's launch. Insiders suggest that purchasing that particular plane, a Boeing 737-800, and at that price, was not the best way to launch the airline. Technical problems have also added another level of concern. AD bought the plane from Air Europa, which has a 35% stake in Air Dominicana.
