The Dominican Republic has six international airports serving distinct regions: Punta Cana (PUJ) for the eastern resorts, Las Américas (SDQ) for the capital, Cibao (STI) for Santiago and the Cibao valley, Gregorio Luperón (POP) for the north coast, La Romana (LRM) for the southeast, and El Catey (AZS) for the Samaná peninsula. Choose the gateway closest to where you are staying, then arrange the ground transfer before you fly.
The busiest airport in the country and the main gateway for international leisure travellers from the United States, Canada and Europe. Its open-air terminals are built for tourism volume, feeding Bávaro, Cap Cana, Uvero Alto and Miches. Because arrivals cluster around the same flight banks, arranging transport in advance matters most here.
Santo Domingo's airport is second by passenger traffic and mixes business, diaspora and leisure travel. It serves the capital and the Colonial Zone, and works as a central hub for onward travel to the rest of the country.
Santiago's airport is the northern region's gateway, used heavily by the Dominican diaspora. It is the practical arrival point for Santiago, Jarabacoa and the central mountains.
Puerto Plata's airport serves the north coast and its leisure traffic from Canada, Europe and the United States, with Sosúa and Cabarete nearby.
A smaller airport serving Casa de Campo, Bayahíbe and the southeast. Lower volume means a faster, more private arrival.
The gateway to the Samaná peninsula, known for whale watching and quieter beaches. Its distance from the main resort corridors makes reliable ground transport especially important.
Distances between airports and resorts are longer than the map suggests, and standards among ground operators vary. Transekur is licensed by INTRANT and carries third-party liability cover, and every trip is private, flight-monitored and quoted at one fixed price before payment.
We monitor every inbound flight and your driver waits up to 2 hours after landing at no extra charge.
