Puerto Plata Province
Built for Wide-Body Aircraft Since Day One.
Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) runs a runway just over 10,100 feet — long enough for wide-body commercial aircraft, which means private jets of any size land here without restriction.
The private aviation terminal was remodeled in 2024, with an expanded VIP lounge, on-site customs and immigration, and direct ramp access — built specifically around the private aviation experience, not adapted from commercial infrastructure.
The airport sits between Sosúa and Puerto Plata, putting Cabarete's kite-surfing beaches, Playa Dorada's resorts, and the historic city center all within a short drive.
