We want to give Puerto Plata the hope and assurance that they are on our work agenda to guarantee much more flights,” he added.

Meanwhile, the directors of Asonahores presented topics of interest, such as the details of the DATE fair that will be held in Punta Cana from May 11-13, according to a publication by Ashonorte on social networks.
