DAE-Dutch Antilles Express: 
Very nice articles on DAE Airline and a great promotion for DAE Airline and also for the Island of Curacao, but regretfully, DAE stopped with their entire operations in Curacao.
The airline folded up and most regretfully, INAC the Venezuelan government controlled exchange institute remained with a very large amount of money, some $ 35 million US. dollars, from tickets sold to Venezuelan travelers for the past year. No one can collet this sum, not even to local Curacao Financial institutions, who docked financially for DAE airline. This is true business in 2013!!!!
Thank you Captain Veeris for the update. Sad news indeed.
All the best.
