Casa De Campo International Airport (MDLR/LRM) serves the resort town of La Romana on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, sharing its name with the adjacent Casa de Campo resort. Built to replace the older Punta Aguila airfield, it has handled the bulk of the country's private and business aviation traffic since opening in 2000. A single long, lit hard-surface runway and on-field VOR/DME and NDB make it a straightforward destination for visiting pilots.
Casa De Campo International Airport lies on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, immediately adjacent to the town of La Romana and the Casa de Campo resort. It is operated by Central Romana Corporation through its subsidiary Airport Management Services, and it is best known as the principal gateway for private and business aviation in the country, with many visitors bound for the Casa de Campo resort itself. The field also handles scheduled and seasonal charter airline services alongside this general and business aviation traffic, which gives it a distinctive character among Dominican airports.
The airport sits on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, about 68 miles (109 km) from the capital, Santo Domingo, roughly an hour and a half away by road. It is directly adjacent to the town of La Romana and the Casa de Campo resort, making the coastline and resort development useful references when approaching from seaward.
The airport has a single physical runway, 11/29, some 9,629 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting. There is no ILS. Field elevation is 226 feet.
The tower callsign is LA ROMANA TWR, operating on 118.6 MHz. A La Romana VOR/DME and a La Romana non-directional beacon, both with the identifier LRN, are located on the airfield, providing basic radio navigation reference points for arriving traffic.
The adjacent Casa de Campo resort and the town of La Romana, together with the southeastern coastline of the Dominican Republic, serve as the primary visual references for locating the airport, which sits directly beside both.
The airport replaced the earlier Punta Aguila International Airport, which stood on the Caribbean shore about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) southwest of the present site. By the 1990s Punta Aguila could no longer cope with the region's growing tourism and commercial demand, prompting Central Romana Corporation to begin construction of a new airport in 1998. The new La Romana International Airport was inaugurated on 14 December 2000 at a cost of over US$100 million, built through the corporation's subsidiary Airport Management Services, Ltd. Punta Aguila was subsequently closed and demolished.
The airport's single terminal is built in the style of an old sugar mill and has four gates, with facilities for passengers and for aircraft maintenance. It continues to handle most of the private aviation traffic in the Dominican Republic, principally business visitors travelling to the Casa de Campo resort, alongside scheduled and seasonal charter airline operations.
