International Dominican Republic Airports: General Facts

A very revealing comparison of the aircraft with the Harbor of the Dominican Republic and Belarus. The area of Belarus is 4.5 times larger than the Republic of Dominican Republic, but there are only 1 Minsk-2 International Airport and 5 local. In the Dominican Republic of 8 international. And 7 local.

Such a high development of the air industry is caused by the following factors:

The Republic of Dominican Republic is an island state.
By water, you can come here literally from 2-3 countries: Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico. The remaining possible options to get into the country only through the air.
Tourist flow (take on the well -being) is just huge. More than 14 million tourists per year, with a population of 10.5 million.

You can read about the Covid-19 in this country in the article: Coronavirus in the Dominican Republic.

All these factors influenced the development of the air industry.

These are the guys meet tourists at the airports of the Dominican Republic

Table of international airports Dominicans

What can be found from the table:

If the length of the runway (runway) is more than 3000m. Then according to international standards, such an airport can take aircraft of almost any size.
IATA code is an international unique code of three letters. Which is assigned to any international airport.
Numbers 3.4 and 8 are the most important and loaded airports in the country. And they can take huge wide -body aircraft liners from around the world.

But at the same time, these three airports share the whole world among geography. If you want to fly from Moscow in Puerto Plato, then you are unlikely to find such tickets.Since now they fly from Moscow only to Punta Cana and La Romano.

Important:

But from Moscow there are ready-made charter tours (read direct flight) to the airport of the Samana Peninsula. It is very cool. Links where to buy such tours at the end of the article.

There is always a currency exchange at every airport. But more on that below.

Which flights arrive at which airports

Below is an indicative division by country of the world. This does not mean that a flight from Europe cannot fly to another airport, it can. But in 90% of cases, the flights are separated geographically.

Puerto Plata airport. Located on the north coast (map below). Flights from the United States, Canada, and other Caribbean countries mainly arrive here. By the way, proximity to the United States has made the Dominican Republic a popular resort among Americans. Like we have Egypt, Turkey. Therefore, there are daily flights and there are many of them. It is the third busiest airport in the country.
Las Americas. The main airport of the Dominican Republic. Located 20 km from the capital, Santo Domingo. Now in the era of covid, it is the largest airport in the country in terms of passenger traffic. From this harbor there are flights all over the globe. But the most popular destinations are: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, all of South and Latin America. As well as the African continent.
Punta Cana Airport and La Romano. Before covid, the busiest airport in the country. The basis of passengers are flights from Europe and the whole old world, including Moscow. The lion's share of flights are charters with package tourists.

Infrastructure of international airports in the Dominican Republic

The vast majority of international flights to the Dominican Republic arrive at one of these three airports. On what you can expect right at the airport.

Car rental. For example, in Las Americas, there are about 10 racks of international car rental companies at once. Everything about car rental in this country in a large report at the link.
Currency exchange. The course, as in all airports in the world, is not very profitable. We recommend not to change the currency here. And everywhere you can pay in dollars. Read more about this in the article: currency and money of the Dominican Republic.
Taxi and public transport.
And of course, all three have duty-free. About the range and prices will be lower.

Advice:

Even at the largest airports in the country, public transport stops running around 18-00. And then, except for a taxi, you can’t leave here. Check the schedule in advance, book transfers, etc. Since a taxi from the side is very expensive here. Links to online transfer are at the end of the article.

Dutifree: prices and assortment

Dutifree looks like in any other country in the world.

About duty free at the airports of the Dominican Republic, we can say the following:

The range is not very wide, especially if you want to buy a drink from international manufacturers.

It seems like everything is there, but on the other hand, what is needed and not.The choice of wine is modest. Whiskey assortment is better, but there are no many good things. Etc.

Good to know:

If you forgot to buy something as a gift, you can do it at the airport. But, there is one but 🙂

Everything is very expensive at the airport. Prices for alcohol, cigarettes, souvenirs are overstated 2-3 times. All this is cheaper to buy just in the country's stores. Therefore, buy everything in advance, and in Dutifrey when departing, when there is no other option, but the thing is very necessary. Photo in the article is confirmed.

Mamahuana for $ 14 is about 800 pesos. In the souvenir shop 300-400 peso the limit for such a bottle. Magnets at the airport for $ 5. And in souvenir shops on the beach, $ 2-3 and you can still bargain.

In conclusion: dominic international airports meet all international requirements. This is not a tent in the field, like on Zanzibar. The infrastructure is designed for simultaneously receiving several large aircraft. The main three airports in the country are ready to accept you as a tourist. Just in advance solve the issue with a transfer to the hotel, and the rest is trifles.
