The deputies approved in a second reading a bill for a project that would rename the Las Americas International Airport, the late Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez International Airport. The bill was presented by César Cedeño, PRD-National District and by the president of the chamber, Rafael Peguero Méndez, PRD-Independencia. The legislators say that Dr. Peña Gómez promoted international solidarity, was one of the most frequent users of the airport, and thus the principal port of entry of the nation should bear his name. Present administrator of the airport, Guillermo Sued commented that there are many international consequences and difficulties in changing the name of an airport.
