Viva Subsidiary Obtains Operational Permit Approval from UK Department for Transport.

MIAMI -- Viva International, Inc. (OTCBB: VIVI) announced today that Eastern Caribbean Air Corporation (EC AIR), its wholly owned subsidiary, has obtained a permit granting the Company inter-island flight approval to operate.

Cool Tours, Inc. d/b/a EC AIR was granted a UK territory permit (2005 summer season # IASD1/S2004/63) today from the Department for Transport, London, England providing the authority to operate air charters from points in US territories to points in the British Virgin Island territories including Anguilla and Turks and Caicos.

According to the www.dft.gov.uk website, "the Department for Transport's objective is to oversee the delivery of a reliable, safe and secure transport system that responds efficiently to the needs of individuals and business whilst safeguarding our environment. Aviation is a major UK industry, carrying over 180 million passengers a year and over 2.1 million tons of freight. Demand for air travel is growing. The Government's aim is to develop a long-term framework that will maximize the beneficial aspects of aviation and minimize the negative ones."

Pier Bjorklund, a project consultant for Viva, stated, "This permit authorizes us to conduct flights in UK territory islands that have demonstrated demand for travel services but yet do not have an overabundant number of carriers competing for this business. Obviously, we are delighted to be granted this authority and will certainly look to establish ourselves as a principal carrier to these properties. The correlation to our existing route plan structure that this opportunity presents is excellent."

As recently announced, EC AIR, VIVA's Puerto Rican subsidiary aviation operation, received approval from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to operate immediately as Cool Tours, Inc. d/b/a Eastern Caribbean Air using its trade name EC AIR.
