Plane livery too.
The article says it will begin service as a charter company in 2015.
I really can't figure out what they are doing. There was a big article a few moths back about used aircraft they had bought and even pics of the repaint. Now we are talking about new stuff and charter instead of scheduled.
MIA is an American Airlines hub!!! Why would they want to be based out of there??? It's American's gateway to South and Central America, as well as the Caribbean!!!
I would compare this move to being based out of ATL and trying to compete with Delta on the ATL-NYC (JFK/LGA) route. It's not going to go well to say the least!!!
