It serves mostly the Dominican Republic with domestic flights and some international flights to other Caribbean islands.[1] La Isabela Airport is the major hub for Dominican airlines that operate small airplanes for example Air Century. The airport has the largest number of hangars in the country (+40) for Dominican-based carriers.
