Las Américas International Airport is a significant aviation hub located near Santo Domingo and Boca Chica in the Dominican Republic. Operated by Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (AERODOM), this privately managed airport is one of the largest in the Caribbean and the country’s second busiest, following Punta Cana International Airport. In 2015, it handled 3.5 million passengers and established itself as the region’s busiest cargo hub, transporting a whopping 355 million pounds of cargo in 2019.
The airport’s history dates back to 1959 when it served as the official airport of Ciudad Trujillo, later renamed Santo Domingo. In 2002, its official name was changed to “Aeropuerto Internacional Las Américas- José Francisco Peña Gómez (AIJFPG),” but it’s commonly known as Las Américas International Airport. Over the years, it has witnessed significant growth, attracting a wide variety of long-, mid-, and short-haul aircraft. Its expansive runway, stretching 3,355 meters, can even accommodate a Boeing 747. The airport has played a pivotal role in connecting the Dominican Republic with international destinations and is a critical gateway for travelers and cargo alike.
In recent years, Las Américas International Airport has undergone a series of upgrades, including the construction of additional terminals with 20 new gates to enhance its capacity. The modernization efforts extend beyond the airport itself, with an improved expressway connecting Santo Domingo to the airport. This route provides stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and allows for efficient access to the city. Las Américas International Airport continues to be a vital player in the region’s aviation landscape, supporting both passenger and cargo transportation needs, and serving as a key economic driver for the Dominican Republic.
