Flights to Santo Domingo
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Santo Domingo is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Las Américas International Airport (SDQ), 24 km (15 mi) from the centre, whose 11,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are La Isabela International Airport (JBQ, 15 km), Samaná El Catey International Airport (AZS, 90 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Las Américas International Airport | SDQ | 24 km (15 mi) | 11,000 ft | 59 ft |
| La Isabela International Airport (regional) | JBQ | 15 km (9 mi) | 5,412 ft | 98 ft |
| Samaná El Catey International Airport (regional) | AZS | 90 km (56 mi) | 9,843 ft | 30 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, SDQ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 59 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
