Gregorio Luperon International Airport (IATA: POP, ICAO: MDPP) serves Puerto Plata, a major tourist destination on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Named after General Gregorio Luperon, a 19th-century Dominican national hero, the airport handles a large volume of charter and leisure travelers visiting the Amber Coast resort region. The airport is one of the busiest in the country, particularly during peak tourist seasons, connecting Puerto Plata with destinations in North America and Europe. It serves as a key entry point for tourists heading to resort areas such as Playa Dorada, Sosua, and Cabarete. Over the years, the facility has undergone various upgrades to accommodate growing passenger traffic, though it remains primarily oriented toward leisure and charter travel rather than large hub operations.
