  Air ALM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ALM during the 1990s grew disenchanted with their association with KLM, obtaining independence from the European airline a few years after the start of that decade, selling their DC-9s and settling for service as an all-propeller airline.
It is ironic that Air ALM went into direct competition with their creators at KLM during their later years, offering flights to Amsterdam with a partner airline.
Air ALM was replaced with an all-new operation, Dutch Caribbean Airlines, but it ceased operating in October 2004.

 Bonaire Talk: Air Jamaica from Mia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
ALM is just too unpredictable for my tastes, and when they screw up (which, based on my travels and those of friends visiting us on Bonaire in the last year, has been more often than not), they provide lousy customer service as a result of not informing their local handlers as to what's going on.
In a letter to Prime Minister Miguel Pourier and Chairman of the General Management Foundation of Air ALM Bas Kooijman, the Executive Council stressed that a solution must be found for the bad connections between the two islands.
ALM would never last in the states....their customer service is non-existant and their employees' attitudes are rude and aloof.
