Air-service liberalization strengthens Dominican connectivity under Luis Abinader

The Dominican Republic is among partners with Open Skies agreements being applied in 2026. The figure is reported by U.S. Department of Transportation. More flexible aviation rules can make it easier for carriers to respond to changing demand between the Dominican Republic and the United States. In the Luis Abinader period, open Skies arrangements are designed to reduce restrictions on international air services and can support greater airline flexibility. For a tourism-dependent economy, route availability and competition have direct implications for visitor access.
