However, the aviation industry has faced unprecedented challenges due to global, regional and national factors that have threatened our operations and economic sustainability,&#8221; said Omar Chahin, president of ADLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/09\/arajet-to-connect-santiago-de-los-caballeros-with-brazil-chile-and-argentina.html\">Arajet to connect Santiago de los Caballeros with Brazil, Chile and Argentina<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As a local industry, our objective is to promote national investment and job creation, while guaranteeing high standards of safety, quality and efficiency in our services. The latter with purely Dominican investment and in the midst of a context of questioning, a struggle of interests and definitely with an opportunity for growth, which seeks to operate in a favorable fiscal framework to compete with its foreign &#8220;peers&#8221;,&#8221; continues Chahin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With this marked difference, to keep on the table the discussion of an Open Skies agreement with a State that has an overprotected and stimulated airline industry, without first equalizing the conditions of competitiveness with respect to the purely Dominican airlines, would imply legislating outside the care and protection of national entrepreneurs, leading to the gradual closure of the sector&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chahin added that &#8220;Based on the incentive bill currently before the Congress of the Republic, which still does not have sufficient topics to guarantee the equity and competitiveness of the national air sector, we oppose the signing of the open skies agreement without first promoting the fair fiscal conditions mentioned above&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We take this opportunity to reaffirm our support for the initiatives of the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) to demonstrate the qualities and capabilities of our country&#8217;s aviation system and to prevent us from being downgraded under the IASA program of the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States of America (FAA)&#8221; Chahin concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
