The recertifications were presented to the DA’s Executive Director, Víctor Pichardo, by the General Director of AENOR in the Dominican Republic, Ariel Espejo, at a ceremony held at the headquarters of the permanent body of the Airport Commission, which was attended by key authorities.

On this occasion, each certificate presented by the AENOR executive to the DA’s Director, consisting of ISO 9001 and ISO 37001, was accompanied by an additional one, simultaneously awarded by the global network of certification bodies known as IQNET.

“It is a pleasure for me to be here once again with the Airport Department team, an entity that has been a pioneer and a leader in promoting good governance, having implemented and certified its quality management system and its anti-bribery management system several years ago,” Espejo stated.

He maintained that AENOR is very satisfied with the work the Airport Department has been carrying out. “Every time we renew one of these certifications, we are sending a message to society that you can trust that there is a third party verifying; that the institution’s narrative is protected by rigorous work,” he said after congratulating the team.

Meanwhile, Pichardo explained that these recertifications in the ISO 9001 and ISO 37001 standards, for Quality and Anti-Bribery respectively, represent a commitment for the entire Airport Department team to process improvement and, above all, to the organizational culture that is reflected in the daily actions of its employees.

“These certifications demonstrate that the Airport Department complies with all the international processes and standards that AENOR implements in various institutions. We have also implemented these practices in initiatives of other institutions, recently receiving the CAF +300 Quality Seal, as well as other achievements such as the Government Integrity Commission award,” he stated.

The Airport Department Director was accompanied by Executive Sub-Directors Luis Cabrera, Jorge Leandro Santana, and Marcello Mazzilli, as well as those in charge of the Planning and Development, Administrative, and Legal departments, among others.

Espejo was accompanied by Nayade Sánchez, Business Development Specialist.
