Flycana: Dominican start-up LCC working to be viable in the Caribbean

Flycana, the Dominican Republic based start-up, is aiming to launch operations before the end of 2020 and has ambitions to grow its network quickly to encompass numerous destinations in the America and the Caribbean.

The airline envisages serving the visiting friends and relatives (VFR) market, with North American routes making up just under half of its network.

Flycana is working to secure the necessary start-up funding in the coming weeks, and although the company believes there is an opportunity for a low cost operator in the region, its management is also not blind to the challenges that a start-up airline in the Caribbean faces.
