They were leaving illegally and planning to fly to Grenada, which is a Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela. The arrested pilots were Venezuelan Oswaldo Enrique Blislick Weeden and Mexican Daniel González Moreno, who were both remanded in custody for three months at the San Felipe jail in Puerto Plata.
The aircraft, a Cessna, registration N-920Va, made in the United States, was confiscated by the authorities, having been at the airport since 15 April 2019.
