American Airlines hopes to reach the one-million-passengers-transported-in-one-year mark by the end of this year. The feat would coincide with the airline’s celebration of 30 years of operations in the DR. Eduardo del Pozo, general manager, highlights that the company this year will carry 53 million pounds of products manufactured in the DR. He also remarked that the airline has invested more than RD$125 million in the local economy.
Today, American Airlines offers over 30 daily flights to and from the five airports in the Dominican Republic. No other country outside of the United States has more airports served by American Airlines. American flies into Santo Domingo (Las Americas), Puerto Plata (Gregorio Luperon), Santiago (Cibao), La Romana and Punta Cana international airports.
