Puerto Plata Airport in the Dominican Republic, is that Caribbean nation's second largest airport, after Las Americas International Airport[?] in Santo Domingo.

Capable of handling planes of all sizes, Puerto Plata Airport has benefited from being in an area with many beaches, which are popular among charter airline passengers. The popularity of the city where it is located at has also drawn a number of regularly scheduled passenger airlines over the years.

Every person in that plane was of the German nationality.
