Summary: The Dominican Airlines Association acknowledges the president's support to boost the competitiveness of the national air sector.

## Article

The Dominican Airlines Association (ADLA) expressed its recognition to President Luis Abinader for his backing of initiatives aimed at improving the competitiveness of the national air sector, as reported by [Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/aerolineas/2026/09/30/adla-agradece-apoyo-de-abinader-para-fortalecer-competitividad-de-la-aviacion/). The gesture matters: aviation is the gateway for most tourists arriving in the country, and any gain in connectivity translates into more visitors and more revenue for the provinces.

The presidential support comes as the Dominican airline industry seeks to consolidate its role as an economic engine. Carriers operating in the country move thousands of passengers every week to Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Santiago and Puerto Plata, and their financial health directly impacts tourist arrivals and the tax revenue the sector generates.

The reading is clear: when the government and airlines row in the same direction, tourism wins and the country wins. ADLA says thanks, but what truly matters is that this support becomes concrete measures that keep the Dominican Republic as the Caribbean's aviation hub.
