The government announced the Ministry of Public Works is investing US$40 million in the expansion of the runway and construction of a taxiway at the Airport Las Americas, the DR main airport. Construction was begun two weeks ago and also includes a new parking area and the expansion of the access to the VIP salon. This will be completed by the end of November in order to be ready to receive the visiting statesmen coming for the Santo Domingo Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Summit in November.
