Private flight-in community in Santo Domingo
They have a town like this in Florida. I know people like planes but who wants to live on an active runway? Can you imagine the noise?
Will it be built?
The main issue I see is that of security and customs. Will they allow international flights to and from?
If they were to install immigration, customs and security then it could work. If not, then I don't think that there is a big enough flying community to support it.
It would become a drug runners pit-stop!
Nice idea though. If they built one on the North Coast I would invest in a heartbeat!

You can't land or take off from this landing strip for international flights, that's well known for this type of air community.
Why live there? If you own your small to medium plane it makes all sense to save big bucks on airport fees, buying fuel, etc...
Will it disturb the others sleeping in their homes? No, since there's a set timetable allowed for take off and landings.
Drug runners paradise? Yes, if they plan to walk themselves into the hands of the DEA and DNCD as a gift...
Will it be built? Not if, but being built...

Concept is interesting, but not very practical. Nice views of neighbors hanger.
Also, lose too much space to the runway...
Better to approach it for helicopters.... more practical given the size of the island, so small.
Also, with so many helicopters in the country we can finally find a place to house them.

Don't they have fly in spots like this in the Turks and Caicos among other islands? It's a fairly well proven business model.
I am renting there now (Spruce Creek) very little noise, well designed so approach and departure are not over occupied structures, limited hours and type, strict noise abatement regulations
