He added: “Rhode Island is home to thousands of Dominicans who will now be able to enjoy the convenience of traveling nonstop from T.F. Green Airport. When I first took this position, I met with Mayor Elorza and he stressed the importance of securing this route. I’m very pleased this has come together for the community and I want to thank Sun Country for making it happen.”

In turn, Sun Country Airlines Chief Executive Officer Jude Bricker remarked: “We’re thrilled to expand our network in Providence and to provide another nonstop international route for T.F. Green.”
