Swells flood Puerto Plata Airport



Puerto Plata.- As of late afternoon Monday, the high Atlantic swells from a powerful low pressure system have flooded the entire perimeter of the runway at Puerto Plata’s Luperón International Airport.

Airport terminal authorities and the airlines took measures which despite the threat of more severe flooding have allowed normal operations to continue.

The National Weather Office (ONAMET) continues its severe weather alert, and issued warnings to swimmers and for small craft to remain at pott along the Atlantic coast.

Swimmers !!!

just try it.....

While we on airports, I think Santiago has the roughest runway that I've seen for commercial jet service. Landing isn't so bad, but take offs are really rough. Last time I flew out, the pilot tipped up on a single wheel until he had the speed to rotate.

Any plans to resurface it?

Atm flights are being diverted to La Romana and Samana. Dominican radio says they are being diverted to Santiago lol. Who knows where everyone is!

the airport is supposed to be back to normal for now:
