Another step in the modernisation and optimisation plan of Las Americas International airport.
The president of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, together with the CEO of VINCI Concessions and president of VINCI Airports, Nicolas Notebaert, have inaugurated the new central atrium of the International Airport of Las Américas in Santo Domingo, capital city of the Dominican Republic.
