Russians increase flights to DR

Despite the expected global slowdown and the tourism slowdown in the Dominican Republic, Russia is actually increasing its flights to the DR aiming to transport 100% more tourists than before.
Transaero Airlines will operate 4 flights per week to Punta Cana and one to Puerto Plata, while Rossya will start a new operation in March sending 330 passenger jets to Puerto Plata..
Dominican tourism minister, Francisco Javier Garcia presented this news at a press conference last week along with his Russian counterpart, Anatoy Yorochkin and other executives during the 14th International Tourism Fair in Santo Domingo.
