Gateway to the Dominican Republic's scenic southwest coast.

Location
Barahona, Dominican Republic
Maria Montez International Airport (IATA: BRX, ICAO: MDBH) serves the city of Barahona in the southwestern Dominican Republic. It is named after María de los Ángeles Vidal García, known professionally as María Montez, a Dominican-born film actress who rose to fame in Hollywood during the 1940s. The airport primarily handles domestic flights connecting Barahona to Santo Domingo, though it has infrastructure capable of supporting international and charter operations. It serves as an important access point for travelers heading to the Barahona province and the surrounding natural attractions, including the Sierra de Bahoruco mountains and Lago Enriquillo. The facility remains relatively small in scale compared to the Dominican Republic's major international gateways such as Punta Cana and Las Américas, but it plays a meaningful role in regional connectivity and tourism development in the southwest.

The airport operates a single modest terminal building suited to low-volume domestic and occasional charter traffic.

Ground transport between the airport and Barahona city center is primarily available via taxi and informal car services, as no formal public bus link directly serves the airport.
