General Andrews Airport Location of airport in the Dominican Republic | |
General Andrews Airport was an international airport located in Santo Domingo (then known as Ciudad Trujillo), Dominican Republic. Operating from 1944 until the late 1950s, it served as the country's primary gateway before being replaced by the modern Las Américas International Airport (originally known as Punta Caucedo).
The airport was situated in what is now the Centro Olímpico Juan Pablo Duarte, a central district of the modern capital. It is frequently confused with the Herrera Airport (which served domestic flights) and the San Isidro Air Base (formerly Base Aérea Trujillo).
