Cibao International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional del Cibao) (IATA: STI, ICAO: MDST), also known as Santiago Airport, is located in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic's second-largest city. It is the country's third-busiest airport by passenger traffic and aircraft movements, after Punta Cana International Airport and Las Américas International Airport. The airport is located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) southeast of Santiago City's center.
Since its inauguration, in terms of passenger traffic, Cibao International has been projected to become one of the busiest airports in the country. With over 2 million passengers in 2023, it's the country third busiest airport, only being surpassed by the airports of Punta Cana and Santo Domingo.[1] The air terminal mainly serves Dominicans residing in the United States, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Puerto Rico, as well as Haitians residing in the Cibao Region. Recently many tourists and missionary workers are using Cibao International as a gateway to the Dominican Republic, with new routes to Spain and Colombia.
The airport contains Dominican Republic's busiest international route (STI-JFK), with over 1.051 million passengers every year as of 2023.[2] JetBlue is the primary international operator, with up to twenty daily flights. The airport has a new terminal under construction expected to be inaugurated on mid 2026.[3]
