Punta Cana International Airport PUJ / MDPC

PUJ is 100% privately owned and operated by Corporación Aeroportuaria del Este (Grupo Puntacana), not Aerodom/VINCI. Independent aviation-trade reporting (AINonline, Universal Weather) confirms that as of May 1, 2026 the airport closed its dedicated third-party FBO and relocated general aviation to a VIP/Executive Terminal now staffed and run directly by airport operations personnel; third-party handlers are no longer permitted on the field and all GA arrivals/departures must be pre-coordinated with the airport's own team.

British West Indies-incorporated Cariports Group affiliate; independently confirmed via Cariports' own organization page and AC-U-KWIK as ramp ground handling agent for commercial, general and executive aviation at Punta Cana since 1999 (aircraft marshaling, towing, refueling coordination), also serving Samaná (AZS). Note: May 2026 trade-press coverage indicates the airport's own Executive Terminal has taken over general-aviation/business-jet ramp handling directly, so whether Aviam's role is now limited to commercial airline handling could not be independently confirmed.

Cariports Group affiliate confirmed by the Cariports organization page and a Dominican civil-aviation-security (CESAC) training-course announcement naming \"Assist Air Group, S.A.\" as AAG; provides air/ground handling services at Punta Cana, Santo Domingo (SDQ) and Samaná (AZS). As with Aviam, its post-May-2026 scope alongside the airport's direct GA takeover is unconfirmed.

The airport's own Executive Terminal service page lists on-site Fuel Services for general aviation and business jet traffic transiting Punta Cana, arranged directly with airport operations rather than through a separate FBO.

The Executive Terminal's own service list includes Catering Services alongside dual passenger lounges, private parking and hangar space, arranged directly with the airport team rather than a third-party caterer.

Cariports Group affiliate confirmed via its own website (ccs.com.do) and the Cariports organization page as airline/inflight caterer serving Punta Cana, Santiago and La Romana airports, supplying more than 35 airlines and roughly 30+ flights per day. A previously circulated claim that CCS holds IDAC \"RAD 24\" certification could not be verified on the company's own site and has been dropped.

Dubai-headquartered inflight catering broker confirmed to have a dedicated Punta Cana International Airport order page listing vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free/allergy-safe meal options; the page does not clarify whether meals are prepared locally or delivered via its global network, so on-airport operating footprint remains unconfirmed.

Dominican inflight catering company (operating since 2004, headquartered in La Romana) confirmed via its own dedicated inflight-catering page to list Punta Cana as one of its service stations, alongside La Romana, Santo Domingo, Samaná and Santiago.

Cariports Group affiliate confirmed via its own website and the Cariports organization page as cargo handling agent (GHA) and general sales agent for airlines at PUJ, SDQ, POP and LRM, operating refrigerated trucks for cold-chain cargo (flowers, seafood, perishables) and extending road/air service to St. Thomas and St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands.

Joint venture between Grupo Puntacana's PCFTZ and DP World operating the PUJ Air Cargo Hub, with their multimodal air/land/sea logistics platform live since October 2023 (not 2022 as previously stated). Independently confirmed via DP World press materials, Air Cargo News and GlobeNewswire: roughly 4,000 m2 of cold storage for perishables/pharma, over 33,000 tonnes of cargo handled in 2025 (15% year-on-year increase), and a new twice-weekly freighter service to Europe via Uniworld Air Cargo launched January 2026.

Dominican Republic's specialized government aviation-security corps (Armed Forces division under Decree 28-97), independently confirmed to operate its own aviation-security training school (ESAC) on-site at Punta Cana International Airport and to run security activities there, including hosting a 2025 TSA security inspection and training Cariports/Assist Air Group personnel, consistent with its nationwide passenger/baggage-screening and airport-security mandate. · 24/7
