Las Americas Airport. Around 120 employees that work in different areas for American Airlines will lose their jobs when the American company suspends the majority of its flights between Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo.
The information was offered by employees at the Las Americas terminal. They said that they will have to go looking for work in other airlines in order to keep working when the flights are suspended.
The measure that was announced to begin next 6 April 2011 has begun to unsettle the employees that work in the AILA terminal. Yesterday the ones that were working commented on the information that was published in the newspapers.
When some of them were consulted, they explained that they had not been told anything regarding the suspensions of flights and in the meantime they would continue working normally in their respective jobs.
We tried to contact Mr. Oliver Bojos, the general manager of American for the Dominican Republic, but he was not in his office at Las Americas.
But according to what Minette Velez said, the suspension or reduction of those operations is eminent. She also said that American Airlines is getting ready to suspend the daily flights between San Juan and Santo Domingo, but nonetheless, she explained that they will support some operations with smaller airplanes from the subsidiary American Eagle.
She also said that American Eagle will suspend its daily flights to La Romana and Puerto Plata, places with a large tourist infrastructure, while American Airlines and American Eagle announced that they would suspend 41 flights to Puerto Rico, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, Dulles and Tampa, Florida.
While American Airlines is announcing the suspension of flights, the Minister of the Airport Authority, Aristides Fernandez Zucco, announced that more than 30 airlines are interested in flying to and from the Dominican Republic.
