Heliport inaugurated

[NewsWhore]

Jose Tomas Perez, director of the Civil Aviation Institute, was present at yesterday's inauguration of the Santo Domingo Ecological Heliport. The heliport, which is located on the 30 de Mayo Highway, has the capacity for 40 helicopters. During his speech Perez said that before this heliport's construction, there wasn't a public landing pad for use by tourists or businesspeople in Santo Domingo. He added that incoming helicopters had to ask permission from private businesses in order to land on their property, or would have to land at the La Isabela Airport in northern Santo Domingo. Perez also said that the new heliport could motivate investment by a city tours company. Airport Department director Andres Van der Horst said that the heliport will fill a long-standing void.
