Christine M. Frias, manager of Corporate Communications for Latin America and the Caribbean denied statements by Lilia Moliné, director of the Marketing Plan for North America of the Dominican Republic that Delta would fly soon to the DR. Frias told the DR1, "Nothing really has changed. We don’t have plans to service the Dominican Republic as of yet, but we continue to evaluate new markets on an on-going basis to strive for the optimal usage of our limited aircraft resources."
