For young fans of aviation and island history, this Fina Air youth hoodie / sweatshirt recalls a short-lived Puerto Rican carrier with a distinctive story. Established in 2003, Fina Air announced charter connections between San Juan, Mayagüez and six destinations in the Dominican Republic. Its regional fleet and plans for broader Caribbean service that never came to pass make the airline an unusual subject for collectors and a conversation starter about the region’s early-2000s travel history.
Fina Air was a Puerto Rico-based airline established in 2003 by founder and chief executive Lazaro Canto. The company was named for his mother, Josefina Canto, and operated charter flights to the Dominican Republic. In a June 7, 2003 announcement, management said flights connecting San Juan and Mayagüez with six Dominican Republic destinations would begin July 15; the start date was later moved to October 2. The airline planned expansion to other Caribbean countries and the acquisition of jet aircraft by 2005, but those plans were not realized. Fina Air operated from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Rafael Hernández Airport in Aguadilla, and Eugenio María de Hostos Airport in Mayagüez, and also rented aircraft to U.S. immigration services for return flights from the Dominican Republic. Its three Saab 340 aircraft were later acquired by a leasing company and operated by RegionsAir as Continental Connection from Cleveland. A proposed purchase of two DC-9-30 aircraft was cancelled. Following flight cancellations in July and August 2005, the company arranged customer compensation in the Dominican Republic. After Canto's death, the business was associated with unpaid debts, lawsuits, and unhappy investors. Fina Air has ceased operations.
