President Leonel Fernández told the National Senate that it has accepted the changes recommended by the Chamber of Deputies-National Senate congressional committee that studied the Aerodom-Dominican state contracts for the privatizing of Dominican airports. In a letter to the President of the Senate, engineer Ramón Alburquerque (PRD-Monte Plata), President Fernández returned the contracts to the Senate for passing. The Executive Branch incorporated as an addendum the congressional recommendations. The contracts award the operation and expansion responsibility for the Gregorio Luperón (Puerto Plata) and Las Americas (Santo Domingo), Arroyo Barril (Samaná) and María Montez (Barahona) airports to Aeropuertos Siglo 21, S.A. (Aerodom), a Dominican company in which several international companies (Vancouver Airports- Canada, Ogden-USA and Impreglio-Italy) have minority share participation.
