American Airlines lodged passengers in area hotels, until another type of plane becomes available to transport the hundreds of travelers stranded in the Dominican Republic.

Local media report that the affected carriers are Sunwing, West Jet and American Airlines, with direct flights from Catey-Samaná to Toronto, and Las Américas and Luperón-Puerto Rico to Miami.
