Santo Domingo.- In light of Storm Melissa passing through the Dominican Republic, scheduled flights at the terminals operated by Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom) are operating normally this Sunday, October 26.

This was reported to arecoa.com by Aerodom Communications Director  Luis José López, who reiterated: “So far, no flights have been canceled; everything is normal.”

He added that “everything is operating normally; scheduled flights have been operating without any disruption.”
