[edit] La Romana to become a Hub

The new Dominican airline, Sol Airlines, has plans to begin operations in La Romana and make it its hub, with flights to the Caribbean, North, Central & South America and Europe. The airline plans to commence operations in 2007 with the following aircraft: Boeing 767-200 and British Airspace BAe-146, with a total of seven aircraft. This is the first time that a Dominican airline has chosen a British aircraft (BAE 146). In the near future, this airline has plans to increase the number of destinations from La Romana and is also planning on adding another hub in Santiago-Cibao.
