## Article

Punta Cana International Airport has announced that **as of July 15, 2026, it is partially resuming the check-in process at Terminal A**, news that comes just in time for the peak summer season. According to [Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/aeropuertos/2026/07/15/aeropuerto-de-punta-cana-reanuda-proceso-de-facturacion-en-la-terminal-a-para-mas-de-20-aerolineas/), the measure affects **more than 20 airlines** operating from that terminal, which should ease passenger flow and speed up check-in times.

My take: after months of adjustments, the country's main tourism airport bringing Terminal A check-in back online is a **sign that operations are normalizing**. For hoteliers and tour operators in Punta Cana and Bávaro, this means shorter waits for guests and a smoother departure experience. The reopening is partial, but it's the right move.

- **Direct benefit**: airlines like American, Delta, Air France, and Copa will have additional counters, reducing bottlenecks during peak hours.

- **Seasonal impact**: just as arrivals from Europe and North America pick up, having full check-in capacity available is key to maintaining the destination's reputation.

The source confirms it: Terminal A is back in action, and that's **great news for the Dominican Republic's tourism ecosystem**. Now airlines need to adjust their procedures so the service returns to its previous level, or better.
