Flights at Las Americas International Airport were resumed yesterday after storm Noel made it too dangerous for planes to leave the DR on Sunday. The delays and flight cancellations left many passengers stranded at the airports. Likewise, several flights from Puerto Rico did not made it into the DR on Sunday. Departing flights were canceled in the early hours of the morning, but Diario Libre writes that at around noon some flights began to take off and land at the airport and that the larger airlines like Delta, Jet Blue and American continued their regular service. Smaller airlines like American Eagle, Cubana, Air Caribbean and Aserca had to cancel their flights because their routes flew directly over the storm area.
Tropical Storm Noel did cause the suspension of several excursions in tourist areas, and in several areas, authorities were working on picking up fallen trees. Otherwise, the storm had little effect on tourism installations where tourists waited out the storm indoors.
