Air Comet’s shutdown comes three years after another Spanish budget carrier, Air Madrid, ceased operations on the eve of the peak period for holiday travel, leaving thousands of travelers stranded.  Hopefully fares between Spain and Latin America will not rise dramatically in the absence of a low-cost carrier.  Your Exito agent will be happy to help you find the most affordable option for your trip.

Residents of the eastern US may be interested to learn that Jet Blue  has applied for authority from the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide new international service to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, from New York’s JFK Int’l Airport and Boston’s Logan Int’l Airport.  Punta Cana would be JetBlue’s fourth destination in the Dominican Republic. Look for this new service to start in early May.
