American Eagle, the American Airlines affiliate, began daily flights from La Romana International Casa de Campo Airport to Miami, Florida on 5 April. The airline flies a 50-seat Embraer 145. The La Romana flight is the first for the airline with this new airplane model outside of the US.
“La Romana, the official airport for Casa de Campo, has always been a popular destination among our passengers from Miami,” said Peter J. Dolara, first vice president of American Airlines, based in Miami. “We’re happy to offer our customers more options to visit this Caribbean paradise.”
Casa de Campo, one of Dominican Republic’s top tourist resorts, is among the world’s most famous destinations, recognized for its luxury villas and award-winning golf courses.
“We are thrilled that American Eagle has decided to offer this new service to La Romana,” said Claudio Silvestri, president and executive senior officer of Premier Resorts & Hotels, the company that runs Casa de Campo.
Airport director Luis Emilio Rodriguez highlighted that the new daily flight contributes to strengthening trade and leisure travel to the La Romana region.
