POP → CBJ / MDCR · Cabo Rojo | Airfield and route check
Before planning POP–CBJ, confirm the actual Cabo Rojo airfield with your flight operator. CBJ / MDCR, the new international airport project near Oviedo and Port Cabo Rojo must not be treated as interchangeable destinations.
Government reporting in September 2026 described the new airport opening as a future event. This page does not confirm that project is open, that scheduled flights operate at CBJ, or that a POP transfer is available.
Plan the connection
Allow separately for immigration, baggage collection, road traffic and the next airline’s check-in deadline. A road estimate is not a minimum flight-connection time. Confirm whether an overnight stay is more suitable.
What to send before requesting transport
Send travel dates, both flight numbers for airport connections, or the ship and terminal for a cruise. Include passenger count, luggage, child-seat needs and mobility equipment. For a return journey, provide its date and flight details too. Agree on a legal vehicle meeting point and a written quote before travel.
Destination questions
What is required before requesting a CBJ transfer?
Send the flight operator, date, exact airfield location and operating confirmation. Ask for written route availability and a quote before arranging connected flights or accommodation.
POP to PUJ is a cross-island road journey to Punta Cana International Airport. The published Punta Cana zone explicitly includes PUJ; use the shared route fares below, not a short resort-to-airport taxi price.
AZS is El Catey / Presidente Juan Bosch airport, serving the Samaná peninsula. A POP–AZS request is an airport-to-airport road connection, not a transfer to a hotel in Las Terrenas or Samaná town.
LRM is La Romana International Airport. This page covers planning a road connection from POP to the airport, which is a different destination from La Romana cruise terminal, Casa de Campo hotels or its marina.
A POP transfer request to La Romana Cruise Port must identify the cruise terminal, not LRM airport or Marina Casa de Campo. The port operator’s passenger information is the starting point for checking the ship’s actual boarding location.
Sans Souci is a named terminal in the Port of Santo Domingo. It is a separate endpoint from Don Diego, SDQ airport and city hotels. A POP–Sans Souci request needs the terminal stated explicitly.
Don Diego is a named terminal in the Port of Santo Domingo, distinct from Sans Souci. A POP road journey should be planned to the terminal on your sailing documents, not a generic Santo Domingo map pin.
Samaná Bayport serves cruise visitors at Santa Bárbara de Samaná. It is a different destination from the Arroyo Barril port project, AZS airport and Cayo Levantado island. Identify Bayport explicitly when requesting a POP road transfer.
Port Cabo Rojo is in Pedernales in the southwest, separate from the Cabo Rojo airfield and the new airport project. A POP–port request concerns a long cross-country road journey, not a local airport shuttle.
