Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) has once again demonstrated its leadership in Dominican aviation by securing international recertification for ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. Awarded by the Spanish certification body AENOR, the renewed credentials underscore PUJ’s ongoing dedication to high standards in operational quality and environmental responsibility.
Ariel Espejo, AENOR’s director in the Dominican Republic, emphasized that the recertification is evidence not just of reaching excellence but of maintaining it consistently over time. The dual recognition distinguishes PUJ as the only airport in the country that continuously upholds both globally recognized ISO standards.
ISO 9001:2015 validates PUJ’s robust quality management systems, reflecting measurable improvements in passenger services, process efficiency, and continual performance monitoring. ISO 14001:2015 confirms the airport’s commitment to environmental management—an important factor as airports worldwide work to reduce their ecological footprint. Together, these standards speak to a comprehensive approach that balances service excellence with sustainability.
Since instituting a formal culture of quality and environmental stewardship in 2014, PUJ has positioned itself as a regional benchmark for airport management. The recertification reinforces confidence among travelers, airlines, and investors by demonstrating that PUJ’s operations meet internationally accepted best practices for both customer experience and environmental care.
As Punta Cana continues to attract tourists and business visitors, maintaining these certifications helps ensure safer, more efficient, and more sustainable airport operations—benefits that extend across the region’s tourism and transport sectors.
