## Description

Named after the 19th-century independence figure Gregorio Luperón, this Puerto Plata airport (POP) serves the resort coast around Sosúa on the Dominican Republic's north shore. With roughly 704,000 passengers in 2024 it ranked as the country's fourth-busiest airport, and its 3,081-metre runway can accept wide-body aircraft. Traffic is overwhelmingly passenger-driven: there is no dedicated cargo terminal, so significant air freight is handled at Santiago (STI) or Las Américas (SDQ). Limited belly capacity on scheduled flights remains available for urgent consignments. Highway links connect the north coast to the Cibao Valley and the port of Puerto Plata, opening sea and road options for exporters.
