Samaná El Catey International Airport — Samana, Dominican Republic

Samaná El Catey International Airport serves the Samana Peninsula on the Dominican Republic's northeastern coast, an area popular with beach and eco-tourism visitors. This part of the Dominican Republic sits barely above the waterline; the airport's own elevation is only 30 feet, typical of the low coastal terrain found along this stretch of the Atlantic shore. A single runway accommodates the international charter and scheduled flights that bring visitors directly to the peninsula rather than routing them through the capital. La Isabela International Airport near Santo Domingo lies about 82 kilometers away, Cibao International serving Santiago sits roughly 92 kilometers out, and Las Américas International, the country's largest airport, is about 94 kilometers from Samana. AZS spares travelers the long overland transfer that flying into Santo Domingo would otherwise require.
