Aerodom manages to build a new terminal in AILA

Siglo XXI Dominican Airports (Aerodom), the company that manages and operates six airports in the Dominican Republic, is experiencing a constant increase in passenger traffic and expects this trend to continue in the coming months of the year.

According to the director of corporate communication of Aerodom, Luis José López, they are in talks with the Dominican State for the construction of another terminal due to the significant growth in passenger numbers. He mentioned that the year has been very productive, and future projections are positive.

Aerodom aims to exceed 6 million passengers across all the terminals they manage by the end of the year. In light of this growth, the Las Américas International Airport (AILA) is preparing to accommodate additional operations, such as positioning parking lots for aircraft and transferring passengers to these parking areas.

Despite some specific issues that have been promptly resolved, operations have generally been flowing smoothly. The company is hopeful that this year will set a new record for Aerodom, particularly for the AILA terminal.

It’s worth noting that there have been discussions about the need for a new airport in Santo Domingo, and plans have been mentioned for the construction of a second air terminal in Las Américas by 2026 or 2027. This new terminal would allow for more frequencies and routes, accommodating a larger number of tourists and regular passengers.
