The government is investing RD$25 million to remodel and expand the Aeropuerto Internacional del Cibao. The airport is located in the center of Santiago, the country’s second largest city. With the expansion, larger airplanes will be able to land there. At present, the airport’s principal international connection is primarily provided by American Eagle that flies to Puerto Rico. The construction works are expected to be completed by July. A large number of residents in Santiago, prefer to connect in Puerto Rico and be able to land in their own city instead of at the Puerto Plata International Airport, approximately one hour’s drive away.
