In a recent public clarification issued out of Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic’s main airport operator Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom) has pushed back against widespread circulating media claims that electrical cable theft recently disrupted infrastructure at Las Américas International Airport. The company has formally rejected all allegations of such an incident, confirming that all airport activities continue to run smoothly with no compromises to security or operational continuity.
The unsubstantiated reports first emerged in local media, which claimed the alleged cable theft had damaged the runway lighting system at the country’s busiest international air hub. Speaking on behalf of Aerodom, spokesperson Luis José López dismissed the narrative as entirely inaccurate, stressing that no incidents of cable theft have been recorded at the airport in recent weeks. He clarified that the circulating reports do not align with the actual on-ground situation at the facility.
Beyond refuting the claims, the operator emphasized that there is no ongoing scenario that threatens flight schedules or airport safety. All core operational and security systems are functioning as designed, with no unplanned outages or disruptions affecting passenger or airline activity. Aerodom also took the opportunity to outline the proactive security measures it maintains across all critical airport infrastructure, including 24/7 digital surveillance, real-time remote monitoring systems, and strict access protection protocols designed to prevent theft and infrastructure damage.
In closing, Aerodom reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to delivering safe, efficient, and consistent operations for all passengers and aviation partners using Las Américas International Airport. The company reassured the traveling public and aviation industry that all services at the airport remain fully operational with no interruptions to report.
