Maria Montez International Airport — Barahona, Dominican Republic

Maria Montez International Airport sits on the southwestern coast of the Dominican Republic, serving the city of Barahona near the Caribbean Sea. The airport, coded BRX, rests at a low point of just 10 feet above sea level, reflecting its coastal location. A single runway accommodates the field's limited schedule of flights, which mainly link Barahona to Santo Domingo and support the region's growing interest in eco-tourism around nearby Lake Enriquillo and the Bahoruco mountains. Compared with the busier airports serving Punta Cana or the capital, BRX handles a small fraction of the country's air traffic, keeping arrivals and departures relatively quiet.
