When they cover Cali Bogota and Bogota Cali
Buenas tardes, For all of Colombia it is excellent that a new company enters because the tickets are too expensive with other companies and they get punctured, For this great company I only say that my God bless you for having entered our country.. and provide excellent services ……..
It was a pleasure to receive you and to be part of the inspection carried out in our facilities such as the DIAF. (AERONAUTICAL INDUSTRY OF ECUADOR) and know that this airworthy product was delivered from our hands for the safety of the entire world., It will be one more satisfaction to be able to continue providing services to that new company and why not tell the companies of the world.
21.5 years old on a plane, I think it's a bit high. A) Yes, they have renovated it, still old. I hope it doesn't happen, How can it not work in Venezuela?, they bring us these idiots to Colombia.
The important thing on any plane, independent of age, It is the maintenance that the airline and the authority of the country where it operates do and enforce.
They will have Cali flights – Bogota – Cali??
Most likely, yes.
Let's go in October, but to date they have not started operating in Cali, until how much longer do we have to wait???
Good day, Nicolas
They will not have a base in Bogota or destination Cali – Bogota?
The proposed base is Cali.
Can I apply for Cabin Crew Member?? and where can I do it ?
You would have to look for their offices in Cali.
There is no email to send my resume?
I don't know.
Hello, what telephone lines do you handle??
Hello, good excuse, tell me what happened, not that they started flying in December. ?????????????
They are still in the certification process, aviation takes time, you can't speed things up.
You have to give it a chance to start to see what they offer.. And x the planes, all airlines as time goes by, and they do well, is modernized
Correct comment.
Welcome from south florida, We think it is very good to have more options to travel from Miami to Cali, tinplate strive to provide good service both on the ground and on board. Congratulations and good luck.
very old fleet by Colombian standards , I hope you can modify it
Can be, But it's a start, if they are okay, I'm sure they will change fleet in a while.
Where should I put my resume to do the TLA aircraft mechanics technician internship?
Good night , I am a TLA aircraft mechanics technician student and I need to do the internships, I would like to do them with you. What should I do? Where do I keep my resume? I'm from Barranquilla. . Thank you
Fatal that a Venezuelan airline gets involved here
It seems good to me that new airlines arrive in the valley and with main headquarters in this land since it is always Bogota or Medellin so that this monopoly ends and they have different routes
Good day, pleasure to greet you and wish you success in your functions and operations; I would like to know where I can send a physical resume and through what website. Greetings.
It's good that it's Cali based
I hope more companies like that arrive
Good evening, and they plan to operate to and from Medellin?
Surely in a second stage.
Buenas tardes, We are a country hostel located 10 minutes from Cali's Alfonso Bonilla Aragón airport, Where can we send our portfolio of services?
I am a flight attendant where can I send my resume
Where can I take my resume?
Good afternoon, I am a traffic agent., I would like to know where I can send my resume, Thank you.
What a scare.. a Venezuelan airline and also with planes of more than 20 year old. I wish they didn't give you authorization.
Let's hope they are not airlines just to position and sell example Aerorepublica, Aires and others that are bought by the large companies to maintain their monopoly .
Good afternoon
I am an aircraft maintenance technician, I would like to work with you, where should I send my resume?
[email protected] ask for danna Guarnizo
Good morning, could you tell me the hv where they are sent, thank you
I don't have that information.
Competing with punctuality and new routes distances it from the monopolist Avianca, which gets worse every day and takes advantage by charging whatever it wants.
It's good that competition is arriving, if the service improves and rates drop.. Cheers
And in Colombia there is a lot of competition, but more options for the user will always be good.
In Colombia there is no competition. The only ones that have half competition are Avianca and Latam. Avianca has up to 32 Darius and Latam trips 11 O 15. The prices are more or less the same. Vivaair has fewer routes than the previous ones and Wingo only has tourist routes. There will be competition when they all have more or less the same routes, compete for schedules, services and prices
Greetings!!! It has been more than a year since there was talk about the start of operations of this airline, that routes had already been approved, and I already had the planes ready to fly. But we see that time has passed, and nothing is known about the beginning of this company. What happened? What is known? Absolutely nothing was mentioned again.. Could it be that it is no longer going to start and was born dead??
