In a strategic leadership transition, VINCI Airports has named Cyril Girot as the incoming General Director of Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom), effective April 1, 2026. The announcement signals a strengthened commitment to advancing the Dominican Republic’s aviation infrastructure during a period of significant expansion.
Girot arrives with a substantial track record in international airport management within the VINCI network. His expertise was honed through leadership roles overseeing complex operational frameworks and executing strategic development initiatives across multiple continents, including Europe and Asia. A proven capability in navigating crisis situations and spearheading post-pandemic air traffic recuperation positions him as an ideal candidate for this pivotal role.
This executive appointment coincides with a crucial phase for Aerodom, which is currently channeling substantial investment into modernizing the nation’s key aviation gateways. The centerpiece of this development is the construction of a new terminal at Las Américas International Airport (AILA), a project bolstered by a financial commitment exceeding $350 million. The initiative is central to transforming the passenger experience and boosting the country’s tourism and economic infrastructure.
Company representatives emphasized that Girot’s leadership will be instrumental in driving operational excellence and ensuring the sustainable growth of the Dominican Republic’s airport assets. The move is viewed as a direct reinforcement of VINCI Airports’ long-term dedication to fostering high-quality, efficient, and environmentally conscious aviation services in the Caribbean region.
