WHY THIS MATTERS

Better connections. More possibilities.

For many people travelling to Las Terrenas and the Samaná Peninsula, reaching the destination involves connecting flights, longer journeys or additional ground transfers.

Direct seasonal flights to El Catey from Miami or New York could make travel simpler for residents, property owners, families, returning visitors and holidaymakers alike.

Airlines need evidence of potential passenger demand before considering new routes. That's where your participation matters. Your travel preferences can help build a clearer picture of the opportunity.

Discover Las Terrenas

A Caribbean escape with its own character.

On the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic, Las Terrenas brings together palm-fringed beaches, clear turquoise water, lush tropical hills and a lively village atmosphere. Beach restaurants, boutique hotels and locally owned businesses give the destination a distinctive blend of Caribbean ease and international flavour.

We believe getting here should be easier. We are gathering evidence of real travel interest for a possible seasonal air service from Miami or New York (JFK) to El Catey International Airport (AZS), the airport serving the Samaná region.

ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

An independent effort. A clearer picture of demand.

The Air Access Initiative is an independent effort to explore improved air connectivity to the Samaná Peninsula. We are gathering information about potential demand for seasonal nonstop flights between Miami or New York and El Catey International Airport (AZS).

We aim to analyse travel frequency, preferred dates, group sizes, fare expectations and booking intentions, and may share aggregated findings with airlines and relevant stakeholders. Individual contact details will not be included in those reports.

This initiative does not represent an airline. No new service, schedule or ticket price has been confirmed.

Help shape the proposal

Your travel plans could help shape a new connection.

Would you consider flying directly from Miami or New York to Samaná? Tell us when you would travel, how often you visit and what fares would make a nonstop service attractive. Your answers help build a clearer picture of potential demand. No booking commitment.
