Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose W. Fernandez will travel to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on Thursday, August 1 and Friday, August 2 to engage with Dominican partners on aviation topics.
On August 2, he will sign a historic Open Skies Agreement with the Dominican Republic alongside Dominican President Luis Abinader. The Agreement aims to expand economic and commercial partnerships, promote people-to-people ties, and create new opportunities for airlines, travel companies, and customers. During his visit to Santo Domingo, Under Secretary Fernandez will also participate in bilateral meetings with government officials and the private sector.
The new Agreement builds on a framework of U.S. Open Skies agreements with over 135 other partners that enable U.S. air carriers to operate and expand flight networks beyond America’s borders and connect the U.S. economy to growing markets.
