Cibao International Airport

STI is served from a single main terminal building handling both international and domestic flights; check-in, immigration and baggage reclaim are consolidated in one facility with airside gates and basic passenger services. Expect a compact layout where most facilities are within short walking distance of check-in and departure areas.

The airport sits a short drive from downtown Santiago (typically 10-20 minutes depending on traffic). Main options are taxis and local shuttle/minibus services; there is no rail link.

• Taxis / shared cars: Point-to-point taxis and shared minibuses serve the city; fares to central Santiago are commonly USD 10-15. Prepaid airport taxi booths may be available landside.
• Buses / minibuses: Local buses and shared shuttles run between the airport and city neighborhoods; schedules are informal.
• Car rental / driving: Car hire desks are available landside; drive time to downtown is typically under 30 minutes.
• Ride-share: App-based ride services are available in the Dominican Republic but coverage and reliability vary by provider and area.

The terminal is compact with basic passenger services suitable for short-haul international and domestic flights.

• Lounges: There is a small VIP/airline lounge rather than multiple large network lounges.
• Food & drink: A small selection of cafés and fast-food outlets airside and landside; limited late-night options.
• Wi‑Fi: Public Wi‑Fi is generally available; expect time or speed limits.
• Charging: Charging points are limited; bring a USB power bank for longer waits.
• Luggage & services: Basic baggage reclaim and customs facilities; limited left‑luggage services-check at arrivals.
• Accessibility: Basic accessible facilities and assistance services; request help in advance if needed.
