It's not LANICA...

As to the other Convair 880 operator at MIA in summer 1972, "not NI" is rather a surprise ... let's say VIASA, serving Caracas (CCS) (perhaps with a stop at Maracaibo (MAR) in one or the other direction)

As to no NI being surprising, I agree - so much so that I went back to double check the schedules up from Managua. Alas, nothing had changed. Lanica continued to operate a different type of jet on the route. The airline we're looking for - I can't seem to find any pictures of its 880 n the internet, but the equipment is clearly marked as such in both the schedule pages as well as this airline's advertising page in the rear of the OAG.

So, the search continues... Buena suerte, Senor L.

P.S. It wasn't VIASA either.
