Las Américas International Airport guide

Las Américas sits on the Caribbean coast at Punta Caucedo, east of Santo Domingo and a short drive from the beach town of Boca Chica. It is the second-busiest airport in the Dominican Republic and a major cargo hub for the Caribbean. Its official name since 2002 is Aeropuerto Internacional Las Américas José Francisco Peña Gómez.

The airport handled about 5.5 million passengers in 2024. Arajet, the Dominican low-cost carrier, runs a hub here. JetBlue is the largest airline by flights, and American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Copa Airlines also fly to the airport. Most routes go to the United States, Panama, Spain and other Caribbean and Latin American cities.

A single 3,353-metre runway, designated 17/35, serves all traffic. The two passenger terminals are open 24 hours and sit close together. A third terminal is under construction and is scheduled to open in 2028. Aerodom, the concession operator, runs the airport.
