After a prolonged hiatus in bilateral air connectivity, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela<\/strong> are moving toward the restoration of commercial flights. This move carries operational, political, and market implications that have caught the attention of both sector executives and industry observers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official Decision: Regulatory Framework and Scope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reactivation was authorized during an extraordinary session of the JAC held on February 2, through Resolution 24-26. This instrument re-enables passenger, cargo, and mail transport services between both States within the framework of current bilateral agreements. However, the JAC did not specify whether the resumption will be immediate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the resolution now approved, a cycle of nearly two years of closed skies comes to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
