Location (City, Country)
Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic
Airport Type & Size
Mid-size international airport serving the Domincan Republic’s second biggest city, Santiago de los Caballeros, with it being the third busiest airport in the country after Las Americas and Punta Cana. It has 1 runway which can support E Class B744/F and takes 2.2M pax/yearRunway 11/29 at 8,595ft/2,620m. It has 1 passenger terminal with a replacement being built this year increasing the available gates and allowing for further tourism expansion.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
It would be another Santiago for the game, an interesting single runway airport in the Caribbean serving the Dominican Republic’s second largest city. It can take 747-400’s and F’s and has previously regularly taken Continental 777-200’s from Newark. It is currently undergoing construction of a new terminal, combining the majority of the old terminal building into the new complex and doubling the number of stands.
I believe it would make a good generic airport, having a similarlayout to current CNN with a short backtrack.
Major Airlines & Routes
It has the busiest international route in the Dominican Republic, between itself and JFK, carrying 1.078 million every year as of 2023. JetBlue and Delta Airlines both serve this route to JFK, with the second most popular route being to Newark, served by JetBlue and United, with 490,000 pax per year.
