Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose W. Fernandez will travel to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Thursday, August 1 and Friday, August 2 to engage our Dominican partners on aviation topics.
On August 2, he will sign a historic Open Skies Agreement with the Dominican Republic alongside Dominican President Luis Abinader. The Agreement will expand our strong economic and commercial partnership, promote people-to-people ties, and create new opportunities for airlines, travel companies, and customers. While in Santo Domingo, Under Secretary Fernandez will also participate in bilateral meetings with Dominican Republic government officials and the private sector.
The new Agreement builds on a framework of U.S. Open Skies agreements with over 135 other partners that enable U.S. air carriers to operate and expand flight networks beyond America’s borders and connect the U.S. economy to growing markets.
