Punta Cana International Airport
What
to expect once you arrive
The
Punta
Cana
International Airport
is located in the
eastern region of the Dominican Republic. The airport was built in a
traditional Dominican style with open-air terminals, as you can see, it
has the roofs covered in palm fronds.
That design gives the visitors
a
strong feel of the Caribbean
taste. This airport has become the
busiest in the whole Dominican
Republic, because it receives an increasing quantity of
visitors yearly. There are actually more than 50 airlines that fly to
the Punta Cana Airport.
That is the main reason for
the need of an
expansion for bigger aircrafts and the opening of new routes to the
other side of the world.
