The expansion of Terminal B of the Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is complete with the terminal open for commercial operations since last week. On June 30, the Terminal welcomed 189 passengers aboard of American Airlines flight 2925 from Charlotte, United States.
During its first 5 days of opening, the terminal received 60 flights and mobilized 17,923 passengers, operating initially with airlines from North America and with plans to expand to connectivity routes in Latin America and Europe.
“The expansion of Terminal B is one of our most anticipated expansion projects this year, being an example in the aeronautical world, as there are few terminals in Latin America with this infrastructure design. Its quality can be compared to any airport in the world. We project that, with this addition, the airport will exceed 11 million passengers annually,” said Frank Elías Rainieri, chief executive, Grupo Puntacana.
The expansion of Terminal B of the Punta Cana International Airport has an investment of more than $90 million, and will allow the airport to handle 5,000 passengers per hour and 4 million passengers per year. This project has nearly 35 thousand m², seven boarding gates and seven air bridges. The expansion was developed by Dominican architects and engineers.
