  Dutch Caribbean Airlines Passenger opinions

 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.

 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.

 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.
