Could it be the hot summer worldwide? Whatever. More than 500 flights a week mostly filled with beach-goers are arriving to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) on the East Coast. This is a new record for the East Coast airport, the largest in the Dominican Republic and that has received 66.8% of all air traffic to the Dominican Republic in the first half of the year.
Most arrivals are from the United States. Airport authorities told Bavaro News arrivals of new flights are expected. The airport has connections to more than 28 countries and 96 cities around the world.
