<p class="blog-para">Las Americas Airport opened in 1959 as the official airport of Ciudad Trujillo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, with the city subsequently changing its name to Santo Domingo. The official name of the airport was changed in 2002 to "Aeropuerto Internacional Las Americas&mdash;Jose Francisco Pea G&oacute;mez (AIJFPG)", but it is known as "Las Americas International Airport", or locally, "Las Americas Airport, AILA, or "El Aeropuerto". In 1954, U.S.-based Delta Air Lines was serving the Dominican Republic on a daily basis via the then-named General Andrews Airport in Ciudad Trujillo with nonstop flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Port au Prince, Haiti, operated with Convair 340 twin prop aircraft.</p>

<p class="blog-para"><strong>Runway: </strong>Las Americas Airport's runway direction is north&ndash;south (designated 17&ndash;35). This runway is the largest in the country and one of the largest in the Caribbean. With a length of 3,355 meters, it is able to support a Boeing 747. The runway at SDQ was last renovated in June 2008. The old taxiway was also renovated and converted into a full runway while the old runway was being renovated, then it was converted back into a taxiway after the normal runway was finished. The runway accommodated the Antonov An-225 to supply goods after the 2010 Haiti earthquake</p>
