Dominicana Network · Arrivals guide
Every airport in the country — the airlines that serve it, how many flights it handles, and its statistics. One honest directory, built on the official figures of the Junta de Aviación Civil (JAC).
This is a staged preview of airports.dominicana.com, not yet public. Statistics are from the Junta de Aviación Civil (JAC); airline lists reflect published schedules as of November 2026.
The country in numbers
The Dominican Republic moved more than 19 million air passengers in 2024 — and more again in 2025 — through eight international airports and a network of domestic fields.
At a glance
Passengers and flights are JAC figures for the full year 2024, the last complete published year. The daily average is derived from the annual flight total (flights ÷ 365) and labelled as such on every page.

Airport by airport
Punta Cana · La Altagracia — the east-coast resort zone
The country's busiest airport — and the first privately owned international airport in the world, opened in 1983.
Santo Domingo — the capital's main gateway
The capital's airport since 1959, with the longest runway in the country and the Caribbean's leading cargo operation.
Santiago de los Caballeros — the Cibao region
The diaspora's airport: its Santiago–New York JFK route is the busiest international route in the country.
Puerto Plata — the north coast
Gateway to Puerto Plata, Sosúa and Cabarete — and the fastest-growing airport in the country in 2024.
La Romana · Bayahíbe — the southeast coast
Built by Central Romana for Casa de Campo, and the country's main gateway for private aviation.
Samaná — Las Terrenas, Las Galeras, Samaná town
The Samaná peninsula's own airport — small, seasonal, and busiest in whale season, January to March.
Santo Domingo Norte — the capital's second airport
The hub for regional Caribbean services on small aircraft — Havana, Aruba, Curaçao and more.
Barahona — the southwest
The eighth international airport: a full-size runway, but no scheduled service — charter, private and official flights only.
🚧 Under construction
Near Oviedo, in Pedernales province, the Dominican state is building a new international airport for the Cabo Rojo tourism development — the project behind the new cruise port. Construction photography shows the runway paved by mid-2026. It is not open, it has no scheduled service, and no opening date has been announced. The existing Cabo Rojo airfield (CBJ) handles charter and general aviation only. We list it now so the guide is complete — and we label it exactly as it stands.
How we count
All passenger and flight figures on this site come from the Junta de Aviación Civil (JAC), the Dominican civil-aviation authority. In JAC statistics, each arrival and each departure counts as one flight. Daily averages are derived from the JAC annual totals (flights ÷ 365) and are always labelled 'derived'.
Airport operators sometimes publish 'flights' counted a different way, and a second official series (Banco Central) differs from JAC by up to about 5% per airport. We never mix series: if a figure is not from JAC, its page says whose it is. Where an exact figure has not been published — for example, 2025 flight counts by airport — the page says so instead of estimating silently.
Airline lists reflect published schedules as of November 2026 and change with the seasons; carriers marked 'seasonal' do not fly year-round.
