The president of the Dominican Civil Aviation Board (JAC) Jose Marte Piantini said that the two black boxes of the Helidosa Aviation Gulfstream jet were sent to the US National Transportation Safety Board in Washington D.C. to determine the causes of the 15 December 2021 aviation accident. Six US citizens died when the plane crash landed at Las Americas International Airport.
