American Eagle has announced the suspension of flights from San Juan to Samana and Aruba. Both destinations will continue to be served from Miami. American Eagle also announced that it is reducing flights from its San Juan, Puerto Rico hub to other cities as part of a restructuring program.
The announcement comes after American, roiled by unrelenting fuel costs, announced early in May that it would reduce frequencies and eliminate entire routes and in some cases withdraw from airports. Service to Samana was the most recent American had added to the DR. American still serves Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, Santiago, La Romana airports.
The announcement coincides with one by the Ministry of Public Works that says the speedway to Samana from Santo Domingo will be open to the general public as of 1 June. The highway reduces the time to get to Samana to 1.5 hour. The highway starts about ten minutes from Santo Domingo or Las Americas International Airport.
