Travel between Cuba and Dimincan Republic

Post by TripleBFlyboy »

Hey guys, need some information on charter operations between Cuba (Veradero) and Domincan Republic (Punta Cana)

Those that are down there, or have experience, your help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking into flying my Best man from one destination wedding to mine in DR.

June 2010

Thanks all in advance

I saw a RIB inflatable dinghy with a rotax engine and a a wing.... It was piloted by a MIG 29 pilot so he must have known what he was doing and it had to be safe. @ little seats so lots of room.!!!!! Give her a go!!

Me thinks you may be outa luck on that one!

PM me around February I’ll be in the Caribbean and can look into who is still operating in the area. Many of the small charter companies there haven’t even heard of the internet so you won’t find them online.

You are looking at a lot of money to charter a flight from the DR to Cuba or the other way around, might be cheaper to fly up to YYZ and then back down or via Cancun, little far for a C172, lots of water and sharks!

We use a charter carrier out of PUJ and POP for crew movements, name escapes me at the moment, they operate B1900 and Shorts 360.

I flew in one of these in Cayo Coco. Scared the crap out of me. Hang on to your camera, there's nothing preventing it from flying into the prop.

Try SAP out of the DR as they used operate a sked from VRA to POP/PUJ.

Tortug Air operates between Haiti and Dom. Rep. They operate LET 410's only but....

Copa Airlines goes into Cuba. They would be one operator to try.
