Puerto Plata Airport, POP Airport services the North Coast areas of Sosua, Cabarete, Puerto Plata, Cabrera, Rio San Juan, Costambar and Cofresi. Gregorio Luperon International Airport ( POP ) is located between Puerto Plata and Sosua, North Coast of the Dominican Republic.  It is located just 10 minutes away from Sosua and about 20 minutes from the town of Puerto Plata.  Most hotel guests and villa rental guests coming to Sosua are picked up at POP, as opposed to those who fly into STI airport in Santiago, one hour away. 

Built in 1971 with the aim of promoting tourism in the North, Puerto Plata Airport has a runway length of 3.081 meters x 46 meters wide, capable of receiving wide-body aircraft, including B-747 and A-340.The passenger terminal is 27.075 meters square, with capacity to handle 1,200 passengers per hour. The airport offers access to an unforgettable travel experience, which has become the second to receive a greater flow of tourists arriving to the Dominican Republic. Since villa rentals in Sosua and Cabarete have soared in the past 6 years, now there`s a greater influx of tourists coming through the POP airport.

Check in & Pick Up Info for Unaccompanied Minors – POP

The Dominican Republic has strict requirements concerning the travel of minors (persons under the age of 18) to/from the Dominican Republic. Any customer under the age of 18 who is unaccompanied, traveling with someone other than both parents or legal guardians, or who is traveling with only one parent or legal guardian, should contact the Dominican Republic Consulate in the United States or the Dominican Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs for entry/exit requirements.

Photo identification is required for both parties who drop off and pick up an unaccompanied minor. Unaccompanied minors will not be accepted without the guardian’s photo ID.

There are also car rental agencies in Sosua, offering various types of deals in a more informal setting. Local drivers can be hired with a van for about $100.00 per day for 6-8 passengers and $150.00 per day in a larger van for 12 passengers. It is better to have a private driver if the traveler will drink alcohol, or is not used to driving in a country like the Dominican Republic. Visit our Sosua car rental page for more information.
