“As plans for our airport expansion progress – and we are able to accommodate larger aircraft – we will be working with our partners to attract flights from additional gateways within the region and beyond.”
The airline’s Commercial Manager, Mr. Victor Nina, stated: “We are delighted to resume our operations between Santo Domingo and Anguilla.
