Air Dominicana has been grounded on the basis of technical problems. Director general Ignacio Sanguino explained that the inaugural flight did not take place as planned because the 18-year old Boeing 737 plane had to make a technical stop in Spain when it was on its way to the DR. The plan was for the plane to travel to Brazil and then make its way to the DR for its official presentation. Board of directors member Juan Munoz said they expect the plane be in the DR by the 14th of this month so that first charter flights can begin between the 15th and 20th of May. The Dominican government has 30% stake in Air Dominicana shares.
