Santo Domingo.- Héctor Porcella, the general director of the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC), expressed that the participation of the Dominican aeronautical sector in the second Global Implementation and Support Symposium organized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in South Korea will enhance the country’s efforts to solidify its position as the leading aeronautical destination in the Caribbean.
