Torrential rains forced the International Airport of Las Americas (AILA) to close landing and departure operations yesterday from 3:35 to 5pm, as reported in Diario Libre. Several flights had to be rerouted to Punta Cana, Santiago and Puerto Plata international airports due to low visibility. The Listin reports that flight AA1520 from NY was detoured to Puerto Plata, while flight IB6501 from Spain was sent to Punta Cana. American Eagle flights 5039 and Jet Blue's 781 flight had to land in Santiago.
The Weather Department explains the tropical wave will pass over the DR today, but rains are forecast to continue through Saturday.
