I wonder how long will this new venture last!!! Something tells me that those 747s under Aerosur's brand won't stay more than 1 year or so.. If LAB couldn't make non-stop MAD services with 767 work, how will AErosur manage to succeed. IMO, this is a very thin market for an airline with almost no international recognition.

Well, just think of Air Madrid, such a new airline and sucessfully linking MAD and BCN with many latinamerican destinations. I believe that if AeroSur manages to deliver a reliable service, cheap fares and punctuality, they'll make a profit. Lets see what happens!

What do u guys think????
Actually, MAD was one of LAB's two most profitable operations. When MAD and MIA were dropped from the network, LAB automatically lost 50% of its revenues.
When AeroSur took over it initially started operating with Air Plus Comet's A310s, however, the demand was such that it was realized that a larger capacity aircraft was needed, so it was replaced by an ex-Aerolineas Argentinas 742 wet-leased from Air Plus.
It is mentioned that IB is extremely interested in starting its own flights into Bolivia. In preparation for that, the airline has already opened a ticket office in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
BTW, do you guys realize that that particular 741 that AeroSur is operating is flying with 530 seats accross the Atlantic? Apparently, the reason why they got that aircraft was its high-density capacity (Ex JAL 741-SR) as its ability to squeeze so many passengers in one flight will allow the airline to offer the cheapest seats between Viru Viru and Madrid. The aicraft is wet-leased from Logistic Air.

Give them the chance!!! AeroSur is having the balls to bring a B747 (and i'm not being biased by the size) to a difficult region in the world, with a difficult country (political changes at anytime), with still a competitor called LB which is considered the 'flag carrier' as well as many other issues... they're changing Bolivia's aviation and writing the new history, lest wish them the best.
Quoting MIAMIx707 (Reply 16): The other green tail there is their 757
What an eye, you're totally right!!! I read in another forum they were going to fly 2 B747s, the one above and a B747-200.

Aerosur also plans to expand services withing Southamerica, Includuing SCL. Who knows if the can use their VVI geographic position to handle southern-Soutamerican traffic to Spain...

Would be gorgeous, too bad AM changed it livery, the prior colors would be stunning in a 744!
