The Dominican Republic’s Airport Department has garnered significant recognition for its active participation in the Airports Council International for Latin America and the Caribbean (ACI-LAC) annual study tour. The event, hosted at Singapore’s Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia, provided a platform for global airport leaders to exchange strategic insights and foster collaboration. Rafael Echevarne, ACI-LAC director, underscored the tour’s importance, noting that it offers invaluable exposure to global trends, cutting-edge technologies, and operational best practices that can be adapted to the Latin American and Caribbean region. Víctor Pichardo, director of the Dominican Republic’s Airport Department, highlighted that the knowledge acquired is already being implemented to drive innovation and enhance efficiency across the country’s international and domestic terminals. This fourth edition of the study tour brought together airport representatives from various Latin American and Caribbean nations, enabling them to observe the advanced infrastructure, operational models, and management strategies of two of the world’s leading airports. The event not only strengthened regional cooperation but also contributed to ongoing modernization efforts in the aviation sector.
