New operator on Aruba: Aruba Airlines

[Een echte spotter]

As of October 9th 2010, there is a new airline operating from Reina Beatrix International Airport, Aruba. The airline is named (how surprising) Aruba Airlines. It operates one (1) Piper Chieftain aircraft, registered in Aruba under P4-AAB.

For those of you able to read Papiamento (the local language) a little more can be found in the following link:

And of course a picture of the aircraft:

In the past they leased from Air Holland a B767.
Much more exciting livery and equipment then now.

I believe you are now talking about Air Aruba, the airline that was taken over by Venezuelan airline Aserca (in 1996?). This is a complete new operator, just starting up operations. At the moment they seem to have one destination only, Las Piedras, Venezuela.

This afternoon I had the opportunity to shoot some pics of it....
