More than 200 flights are landing and departing from the airport of La Isabela MDBJ at El Higuero in the northern outskirts of Santo Domingo.
Transport for News reporters, Emergency Crews, Supplies and flight diverted from Puerto Principe create the traffic pattern of the airport.
Coordination of the airport is being handled by the United Nations, the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute, private plane owners and the Dominican Naval Auxiliary.
The website is dedicated to the memory of Franklin Polanco Sr. My father, pilot, communicator, aviation promoter, mentor, and friend to countless aviators around the world.
Throughout his life, Franklin became one of the Dominican Republic’s strongest advocates for general aviation. Whether helping international pilots plan Caribbean adventures, supporting aviation organizations, mentoring young aviators, or promoting Dominican aviation abroad, he believed aviation was ultimately about people.
His influence reached far beyond the cockpit.
His work earned recognition from the Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation (IDAC), which honored him by naming the main auditorium of the Higher Academy of Aeronautical Sciences (ASCA) after him, recognizing his extraordinary contribution to Dominican aviation.
