Summary: The Gregorio Luperón International Airport in Puerto Plata has received an international award for service quality, as reported by Arecoa.

## Article

The Gregorio Luperón International Airport in Puerto Plata has just landed an international award for service quality, as reported by **Arecoa**. Its VINCI Airports CEO, Rémi Maumon de Longevialle, presented the recognition to the Minister of the Presidency, José Ignacio Paliza.

This is no small feat. A provincial airport matching the standards of major international hubs means serious work on passenger experience. For a destination like Puerto Plata, competing head-on with Punta Cana, such seals matter when courting airlines and tour operators.

My take: infrastructure investment and private management by VINCI are paying off. This isn't just a plaque on the wall, it's a marketing tool for the entire North region.
