In order to continue encouraging our business partners to continue expanding their routes and flight frequencies we are making a substantial investment in the development of capital projects to improve and strengthen the facilities and infrastructure of the airport said Jorge Hernndez CEO from Aerostar.American Airlines announced a few months ago that the new air service is part of the expansion it is carrying out in Dallas towards the Caribbean which includes a new service for the USVI and for St. Kitts among other destinations.
