Alas Nacionales S.A. ("National Wings" in Spanish) was a Puerto Plata-based carrier that operated charter flights between Dominican Republic and Germany.
[4] In order to continue the charter flights in the next winter season, Öger Tours and Birgenair went into a cooperation with Alas Nacionales in summer 1995.
This Dominican airline was founded in Puerto Plata by the Finn Matti Puhakka and six other shareholders earlier that year.
After Alas Nacionales received traffic rights to Germany the airline officially leased a Boeing 767-200ER from Birgenair.
Birgenair had leased this Boeing 757 in November 1995 to the Argentine airline Servicios de Transportes Aéreos Fueguinos (STAF) and operated it on five flights between the Dominican Republic and Buenos Aires until January 1996.
