La Romana Casa De Campo International Airport (IATA: LRM, ICAO: MDLR) is an international airport located on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, adjacent to the tourist town of La Romana and the Casa de Campo resort. It is located about 68 miles (109 km) from the capital, Santo Domingo, approximately 1 hour and 34 minutes by car.[4] With 146,000 passengers as of 2023, it's the Domincan Republic's fifth busiest airport.
Overview
[edit]The current single terminal is built in the style of an old sugar mill. The airport consists of a main terminal with four modern gates. It has facilities for passengers and for the maintenance of aircraft. This airport receives most of the private flights in the country, principally businessmen that come to La Romana for vacations in Casa de Campo. The La Romana VOR/DME (Ident: LRN) and the La Romana non-directional beacon (Ident: LRN) are located on the field.[5]
History
[edit]Before La Romana International Airport, the earlier Punta Águila International Airport served the region and was located on the Caribbean shore, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) southwest of the current airport. By the 1990s, the airport was unable to sufficiently cater the region's growing tourism and commercial demands, prompting the need for a replacement airport. In 1998, Central Romana Corporation, Ltd. began construction of the new La Romana International Airport. Through its subsidiary, Airport Management Services, Ltd., Central Romana Corporation, Ltd., inaugurated the new and modern airport on 14 December 2000, at a cost of over US$100 million, thus replacing Punta Águila International Airport. The airport was subsequently closed and demolished.[6]
