Speaking during the ordinary session of the Jac, Marte Piantini also announced that the air operations carried out this month triple the amount of the same month compared to those of 2021.
He said that last February 4,518 flights from 130 different airlines arrived in the country, with the busiest airport being Punta Cana.
The official statistics of the JAC corresponding to the second month of this year show that a total of one million one hundred and seventy-six thousand eight hundred and forty-two passengers were transported, in nine thousand and twenty-eight air operations.
