Just wondering if anyone has heard of any plans for flights from US into AZS this winter? It is sad that AA has cancelled all flights there. It is a politely staffed, efficient and beautiful airport. One flight a week from SJU would probably be full. Out of curiosity how many flights use AZS every week?

Thanks for the info.

Curious isn't it that there isn't one flight weekly from the US or Puerto Rico???
What a huge investment for so little traffic. It certainly isn't understaffed. Well, it's a good place for a rest stop, the bathrooms are great. Sigh....

Unfortunately Americans (US) haven't discovered the untarnished beauty of the Samana peninsula, but maybe will one day, for better or for worse. And I agree the airport is beautiful. Sked posted above is pretty accurate but early yet for full sked to be completed for upcoming tourist season....won't change much.

I know, I used this flight several times and it seemed to be gaining in popularity with many more passengers the last time I flew it in April. I know many people in LT who used it who are equally disappointed and are also hoping for a flight once a week. Maybe AA will come around by the time snow flies. I guess it is a little early to lose hope. If anyone hears (even a rumour) please let us know. Thanks.
