New runway planned for Punta Cana International Airport

Due to the growing number of air traffic at Punta Cana International Airport, there are plans to construct a new runway in the near future. The runway will be built on the north side of the current runway and it will be able to accommodate an Airbus A380. This project is still in the planning stages and, if approved, construction will commence at the end of 2008.

As well as a new runway, there are plans for new taxiways, a new control tower, and expansion of the main terminal.

If the project proceeds, it will mean the airport will be better equipped to accommodate the increasing amount of visitors to the area – encouraging news for those who own (and wish to own!) property in MRI’s Punta Cana developments.
