Punta Cana International Airport

Punta Cana International Airport (MDPC) is a large airport in Punta Cana, 11, Dominican Republic. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code MDPC or IATA code PUJ. It sits in North America.

Punta Cana International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Punta Cana International Airport sits near sea level at 47 ft.

Local operations run on America/Santo_Domingo. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for MDPC updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in Dominican Republic, MDPC tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Punta Cana International Airport is a privately owned commercial airport in Punta Cana, eastern Dominican Republic. The airport was built with open-air terminals and roofs covered in palm fronds. Grupo Puntacana built the airport, which was designed by architect Oscar Imbert, and inaugurated it in December 1983. It is owned by Grupo Puntacana and became the first privately owned international airport in the world.
