Ronny Pineda, the regional manager for Aeropostal based in Santo Domingo, said they expect to fly from Las Americas, Puerto Plata, La Romana, and Punta Cana airports to points in Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, the United States and Asia.
Aeropostal reportedly had billings of US$207 million last year and carried over 2 million passengers. This year the company has plans to expand its services to Cancun, Mexico City and Madrid. (4 September 2001)
