History
Formation
The airline was established and began operations in 1983. It began operations with two aircraft and changed ownership in 1988.
Operations suspended
On January 20, 2009 the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) ordered Caribair to suspend its flight operations due to alleged "operational irregularities". Caribair reportedly was found by IDAC inspectors to be "masking multiple commercial operations as private operations in unauthorized airplanes." The company announced on January 26, 2009 that they would appeal their suspension.
IDAC announced the cancellation of the suspension for Caribair. The airline is now available to operate some reduced flights using only two aircraft. The IDAC will recertificate the rest of the fleet by the time until October 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
