Santo Domingo.- The U.S. Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) affirmed that all Dominican airports meet the security system and control for articles banned to passengers by 100 percent.

A TSA commission formed by George Cruz, Brian Abbot and Pedro Rótela also praised the Quality and Security Control program implemented in the national airports by the Airport Security Corps (CESA).

The technicians, who inspected the installations of the airports managed by the company Aerodom, said the controls established by that company and the airport agencies meet the expectations of the U.S. authorities. “We observed very carefully, the process to install the equipment which controls access to the different zones, ID cards for people and the control of the articles which are distributed in the free zone stores and we verified the effectiveness of the measures.”

In a missive sent to Aerodom director Andrew O'Brian, the TSA commission states its satisfaction with the controls established in Las Americas and other airports which they inspected.

The periodic inspections by the U.S. authorities seek to evaluate the security controls and conditions of the equipment to check passengers and luggage.

In the missive to Aerodom and CESA, the TSA technicians request that the process to issue ID cards for the authorized persons and the control of traffic to the areas where vehicles can access the tarmac remains unchanged, to prevent hazardous situations.
