Santo Domingo SDQ Airport Overview

Santo Domingo Las Americas International Airport SDQ (or 'Aeropuerto Internacional de Las Américas') is the Dominican Republic's largest Airport, managed by Aerodom.  Santo Domingo and its surroundings offer a heaven for sun-seeking vacationers and the majority of flights originate from North America & Europe.

The Airport is located in Punta Caucedo, near Boca Chica, and 20 km southeast of the capital city of Santo Domingo, situated on on the island of Espanola (shared with Haiti), which is one of the Greater Antilles islands in the Caribbean Sea. Both the Airport and the City are easily accessible from Santo Domingo by an expanded expressway which crosses a new suspension bridge spanning the Ozama River and connecting traffic into the city's elevated freeway & tunnel system onto the City's main street (Av. 27 de Febrearo). You can also take the more scenic route on the coastal shore, which crosses the Ozama River via a floating bridge connecting traffic onto the Av. George Washington (el Malecon) leading into the city center.

With a long runway and an estimated 3.1 million passengers in 2012,  Santo Domingo Las Americas International Airport is hub for PAWA Dominicana, and is served by many inter-island & international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to Central, South & North American, Caribbean, Mexican and European destinations.
