Samana El Catey International Airport AZSMDCY

Samaná El Catey International Airport (AZS), also known as Presidente Juan Bosch / El Catey, is a small international leisure airport for the Samaná Peninsula rather than a major hub. No global alliance airline uses it as a hub, and traffic is mainly seasonal or vacation-oriented, with services commonly tied to Canada and France rather than dense regional connectivity. The airport is practical for point-to-point arrivals into Samaná, Las Terrenas and Las Galeras, but it is a weak choice for planned connections: schedules are thin, facilities are modest, and there is no meaningful hub-style transfer product. For most travelers, the best ground move is a pre-arranged hotel transfer, taxi, or rental car: roughly 30 minutes to Las Terrenas, about 40 minutes to Santa Bárbara de Samaná, and around an hour to Las Galeras.
