Punta Cana Airport Upgrades Announced

Friday January 30, 2009
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), a major tourism gateway on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, will be getting a new, 40-station check-in terminal and baggage system this month as part of a multi-million-dollar improvement program that will continue through 2010. Travelers also will benefit from new e-ticketing kiosks -- a first in the Dominican -- and baggage drops.

Future plans call for a new weather radar system, runway and taxiway expansions, and a new control tower. PUJ is the busiest airport in the Dominican Republic and the third-busiest in the Caribbean, handling about 2 million passengers annually.
