Avior Airlines- by Manuel Kliese
24 May 2007
PMV-BLA recently on a Beech 1900 aircraft, I can call it an intensive
flying experience in this small turboprop plane! Anyhow, the cabin
appeared to be as a bit filthy and quite dirty. All in all not really
remarkable.

Again Avior and disapointed, but its the only carrier operating between
Trinidad W.I. and Isla Margarita. They recently cancelled the operation
of the old B732 (except public Holidays and long weekends in Trinidad)
into a small 19 seater Turboprop Beech Aircraft. No washroom on this
Aircraft and no FA's. The only safety instruction was a lousy tape in
Spanish. Only English speaking Trinis on board. Return flight we were
told that the flight is delayed from 9am to 12noon (maybe) because of
technical problems in Barcelona (Venezuela). Actually the flight came in
2PM and after again 2 hrs we were able to board the flight. The ground
staff from Avior was helpful and organized for other passenger to get
baggage in the terminal to feed small children and change clothes. We
arrived safe back in Trinidad, but still worries about the standard and
safety of this airline.

Trinidad W.I. POS to Isla Margarita (Polarmar). Check in was very convenient at POS Terminal. Avior opened 3 Counter for
approx 120 Passenger. All Pax checked in approx in 25 Min. The Aircraft arrived only 20 Minutes
delayed because of bad weather. On board the service was above my expectations. Even on this short
flight of 45 Min they served a snack and 2 times softdrinks. Avior leased the aircraft with business
and econ. configuration, but offers only eco class.
The AC an older B737-200 was in quite good conditions and boading the AC we had the chance to see
into the cargo/baggage holds and got a positive impression.
Only situation worries me was the lack of language skills of the cabin crew. During the
demonstration of the safety features the lady showed the use of the life vests and the only english
skills attendant explained same time the oxygen masks. We believed that she had no clou what her co
worker was talking about. Most of the passengers had lots of fun during the bad safety demo, but I thought what happens in a
case of emergency? Most of the passenger from Trinidad have no spanish skills and wouldnt be able to understand the
instructions from the FAs.
Returning from Margarita we were shocked seeing the chaotic situation at the Airport. No real
information how the system runs. Endless waiting infront of several check points and finally we
arrived at the departure gates.
Same time Avior departed to POS and SATA to Martinique. No correct information what line is the
correct one. At the end they just let all passenger thru and we had to find our way to the AC on our
own. No Ground Staff to guide the passenger on the runfield.
Finally we departed 1 hr late due to bad co ordination of ground staff and had a quite flight back
to Trinidad W.I. Over all the airline is OK and the service much better than other local airlines. Safetywise i would
recommend not to travel if ur unable to understand spanish.
