Dominican Republic assumes presidency of Latin American Civil Aviation Commission

In a significant development for regional aviation, the Dominican Republic has been elected to preside over the Executive Committee of the Latin American Civil Aviation Commission (CLAC). This decision was made during the XXVI Ordinary Assembly of the organization, where Héctor Porcella, President of the Dominican Republic’s Civil Aviation Board (JAC), was chosen to lead the committee. The vice-presidencies will be held by Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Panama, reflecting a diverse leadership structure. This appointment underscores the Dominican Republic’s growing influence in the civil aviation sector and its commitment to fostering air connectivity and collaboration across Latin America and the Caribbean. Established in 1973, CLAC serves as a unifying platform for civil aviation authorities in the region, aiming to harmonize aeronautical policies and enhance coordination. With this new role, the Dominican Republic is poised to drive strategic initiatives that will shape the future of air transport and regional integration.
