The main runway of the Puerto Plata airport will be closed for 10 days for maintenance
PUERTO PLATA.- Due to maintenance work on the runway, the General Gregorio Luperón International Airport (AIGGL) of Puerto Plata will be closed for ten days.
As revealed by the company Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom), air traffic will be suspended at the Puerto Plata airport terminal since the runway will undergo a remodeling process. Aerodom explains that the remodeling of the runway will be carried out from Monday, May 9th to Friday, May 20th, since it is a large-scale construction project, which implies an investment of more than 260 million pesos.
The operating conditions of the aircraft must also be improved, their useful life extended and the leveling of the central section of the runway at the local airport corrected, where during that period only helicopters will be able to carry out their operations.
“Aerodom has been working together with the airlines and tour operators that operate in the terminal, with the interest of guaranteeing a minimum of inconvenience to passengers during this period,” the company said in a statement. Likewise, the dates to carry out the remodeling process were taken after analyzing the traffic flows, these being the two weeks of the year in which the lowest flow of passengers has historically been received at the Puerto Plata international airport.
