Punta Cana, DR – Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) experienced a notable spike in air traffic on Saturday, December 27, right in the middle of the Dominican Republic’s peak tourism season. Tourism Minister David Collado drew attention to the surge by sharing an image of the airspace over Punta Cana, where a dense flow of arriving and departing aircraft could be seen.
This increase in operations aligns with the year-end holidays, a period when thousands of Dominicans residing abroad return to the country to reunite with their families, while a steady stream of international visitors flies in to enjoy Punta Cana’s beaches, resorts, and leisure offerings. The intense movement of passengers and flights underscores the Dominican Republic’s position as one of the Caribbean’s leading winter vacation destinations.
The uptick in traffic also reflects the strong demand for tourism in the region and highlights the ability of Punta Cana International Airport to handle high volumes efficiently. With robust operations and sustained growth, PUJ further consolidates its role as the country’s most dynamic and influential air hub.
