	Dutch Caribbean Airlines Passenger opinions
		I have flown DCA several times in the past and there is always a problem.
		As the airline explained to us that the reason we were bumped from the flight was because the larger plane they were going to use was grounded due to mechanical problems and they were forced to fly a smaller plane.
		The Airline wasn't paying taxes and the government took away all their large planes from them.

		Dutch Caribbean Airlines Inc. ceased operations on 09Oct04 and after having filed for bankruptcy on 01Oct04 (which the courts confirmed in November).

	Caribbean Airlines
		The bankrupt airline is due to be dissolved in September 2001 and replaced by Dutch Caribbean Airlines.
		Although the other two airlines on the route, Cape Air and Seabourne Airlines, both announced an increase in service, a number of hoteliers is concerned that carriers operating with small (nine and 17-seat) aircraft would be hard pressed to provide adequate service, especially in the winter months.
		The airline wishes to extend the Bonaire-Curaçao service to Aruba twice a day, but is prevented from doing so by the government which is protecting Antillean aviation companies, specifically Dutch Caribbean and WINNAIR.

		Meanwhile, DCA has seen the Israeli airline El Al purchase the Boeing 767 that DCA used to lease from the now bankrupt Sobelair to fly on the mid-Atlantic route.
		Air Holland, which has a moratorium on payments itself to prevent bankruptcy, agreed with DCA during the weekend on the Monday flight, but the plane with 260 seats (130 for each airline) was not be back in Amsterdam in time to execute the flight planned for Tuesday.
		The plane leased from Holland Exel, which took over all Air Holland operations except the Dutch Caribbean flights, is flying a "full schedule" to try to transport as many passengers stranded because of the Sobelair bankruptcy and Air Holland's own problems as possible.

		The management of Avior Airlines, a privately owned carrier and the second largest in Venezuela after Aeropostal, is represented locally by Edward Heerenveen, who worked before for DCA and Air Holland.
		The airline was established 10 years ago and up to three years ago flew to Curaçao, while it still flies to Aruba.

	From KLM to ALM to DCA to &c. &c.
		After KLM Royal Dutch Airlines had opened the Oost-Indië Route to Indonesia, they naturally cast an eye on the Dutch colonies in the West, with their Fokker aircraft the best in the world.
		In a legal trick to avoid bankruptcy ALM was then taken over by Dutch Caribbean Airlines, owned by DC Beheer [holding].
		Dutch Caribbean Airlines' first priority was supposed to be its privatization.

	Caribbean Net News: Sparks fly as Antillean PM arrives in the Netherlands
		AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands: Antillean Prime Minister Mirna Louisa-Godett arrived in the Netherlands on Friday morning, and immediately sparked further conflict between the former colony and the Dutch government by threatening to scrap landing rights for Dutch flag carrier KLM and Air Holland on the Caribbean island nation.
		According to Expatica News, Louisa-Godett was reacting to threats from Dutch Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner, who said earlier this week that "risk flights" between the Netherlands and the Antilles might be scrapped if drug smuggling did not decrease.
		Her remarks added fuel to simmering conflict between the Netherlands and the Antilles, initiated recently by Louisa-Godett's brother, Anthony Godett, who has called for the largest of the islands, Curacao, to be granted a separate status within the Dutch Kingdom, similar to what Caribbean neighbour Aruba already enjoys.

	Coke — It's The Real Thing: Flying Cocaine From Curaçao To The Netherlands ~ by Steve Leslie
		When possible, local airlines have been used as the timeliest and most cost effective means of shipping cocaine to and from Latin America, and as I found out, in some cases internationally.
		Unfortunately for the Caribbean nations, the popularity of the islands for tourism has proved to be a perfect cover for the illicit drug trade.
		Although, I did not expect my life as an expat airline pilot to be coloured with this experience, it makes you realize that no matter how isolated you are in this world, the “war on drugs” and the “war on terror” is something that is hard to ignore.

		In 2003, Air Sint Maarten was the first Antillean virtual airline to launch low budget charter and commercial airline flights to the Dutch Antilles from Amsterdam together with Air Holland and Dutch Caribbean Airlines (DCA).
		The bankruptcy of DCA meant that passengers who were booked with the airline had to be rebooked with another carrier.
		The WTO Barometer report stated that destinations in the Caribbean, Central and South America had kept their very positive performance and were enjoying the competitive advantage of a weak dollar and the search for "known and nearby" destinations to North America.

	ALM Antillean Airlines history
		What KLM really wanted with the flight of the Snip was to make Curaçao the hub of their American operations, and provide an American link between the Far East and Europe.
		One result was that ALM was forced to absorb much more personnel than they needed, by politicians rewarding people for having done what was judged to be good work for their parties.
		Another result likely was that it became much easier and more popular to steal from the airline, not only crumbs and larger bits, but also money and kickbacks.

		Caribbean Star and Caribbean Sun started in what has been probably one of the worst eras of the airline industry, Suarez admitted, but her chairman believes in efficient, seamless, quality air transportation in the region.
		Over the 10 years, the airline had lost US$678 million, which the former managers said was due to a series of events beyond their control, such as the USA ruling, shortly after privatisation, that Jamaica did not meet the standard for aviation oversight infrastructure.
		The trends in the OAG data on airline capacity utilisation are supported by the just-released Kuoni Long Haul 2005 Report (available on onecaribbean.org) which shows Asia/Pacific and Africa/Middle East as their largest growth destinations by far in 2004 in spite of the tsunami disaster and that these rankings continue for bookings in 2005.

		For flights, I'm not sure Dutch Caribbean Airline (DCA) is a good thing...they are about to go belly up.
		I would avoid Dutch Caribbean Airlines, we flew them a few times years ago when they were still called ALM, and had horrible delays of 2 hours or more.
