Tiara Air and Insel Air agreement [link]
Aruba's national airline Tiara Air and the Aruban government recently announced a collaboration with Curaçao's national airline Insel Air. The collaboration should enforce optimal use of the touristic routes to Aruba.
In order to serve passengers best, the agreement is valid for all routes that both airlines operate. The Aruban government also stated that it was committed to release an AOC (Air Operating Certificate) to Insel Air within three months, making it possible for Insel Air to also proceed as an Aruban airline under the name "Insel Air Aruba."
Due to the AOC, Insel Air Aruba will be able to operate many touristic flights to Aruba, therefore creating more inbound flights for the island.
According to Mr. E.K. Heerenveen, Chief General and International Affairs, "In this new agreement Insel Air Aruba will operate three Fokker 50 and one MD-80 increasing the total availability of seats to 50000 a month. Due to the cooperation with Tiara Air an extra 40.000 seats per month will be added, totaling to 90.000 seats per month.

Tiara
A tiara (from Latin: tiara, from Ancient Greek: τιάρα) is a jeweled, ornamental crown worn by women. It is worn during formal occasions, particularly if the dress code is white tie.
History
Today the word "tiara" is often used interchangeably with the word "diadem", and tiara is often translated to a word similar to diadem in other languages. Both words come from head ornaments worn by ancient men and women to denote high status. As Geoffrey Munn notes, "The word 'tiara' is actually Persian in origin — the name first denoted the high-peaked head-dresses of Persian kings, which were encircled by 'diadems' (bands of purple and white decoration). Now it is used to describe almost every form of decorative head ornament." Ancient Greeks and Romans used gold to make wreath-shaped head ornaments, while the Scythians' resembled a stiff halo that would serve as the inspiration for later Russian kokoshniks. The use of tiaras and diadems declined along with the decline of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity.
