Santo Domingo.<\/strong>– President Luis Abinader<\/strong> stated this Monday, during his meeting with the press in \u201cLa Semanal\u201d, that the company Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom)<\/strong> is \u201cin the process of paying\u201d <\/strong>the fine imposed for the blackout that occurred at Las Am\u00e9ricas International Airport (AILA). <\/p>\n\n\nAs explained, the company is “looking for the bureaucratic way” to complete the disbursement, information that, he said, was confirmed to him last week by the director of the Airport Department.\n\n\n

The sanction also includes the obligation to assume the costs derived for passengers and airlines.\n\nAuthorities from the Airport Department have explained that the process is advancing in coordination with Aerodom’s legal team, which is studying the resolution that formalizes the sanction. So far, however, the transfer corresponding to US$5 million has not been finalized, due to the review of the procedures and compliance with the established legal requirements.\n\nThe Airport Commission also instructed the concessionaire to implement improvements to the airport’s electrical system, strengthen contingency protocols, and submit detailed technical reports on the fault. The agency determined that, despite the incident, there was no total loss of energy from the national grid and that the emergency plants were available, which reinforces the responsibility attributed to Aerodom.\n\n\n
