José Marte Piantini, president of the Civil Aviation Board ( JAC ), reported that the organization approved a special permit for Air Europa to connect Madrid and New York via Santo Domingo.
After the approval of the new link, the Spanish airline will operate 188 flights, five weekly, from June 20 to October 29, 2023.
To carry them out, within the framework of Fitur 2023, an agreement was signed between the Minister of Tourism, David Collado; the president of the Globalia Group, Juan José Hidalgo; and the president of the JAC.
The operation will be carried out aboard one of its Boeing 787, an aircraft operating between Madrid and New York.
Hidalgo highlighted the importance of the new route and valued the company’s commitment to the DR destination.
“We will put the best plane in the world on the route to increase the connectivity that is needed and provide the best service,” he said at the time.
