La Romana International Airport (LRM / MDLR)

La Romana International Airport — IATA code LRM, ICAO code MDLR — is the international airport serving the city of La Romana and Casa de Campo Resort & Villas on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. The airport is owned by Central Romana Corporation, the corporate entity that also operates the resort.

The single concrete runway is 9,678 feet long (2,950 metres), with an elevation of approximately 226 feet (69 metres) above sea level. The runway accommodates aircraft from light jets through heavy and ultra-long-range business jets, as well as the regional commercial widebody and narrowbody traffic that uses LRM for charter flights into Casa de Campo events.

LRM is a port of entry for international flights, with Dominican Republic Customs and Immigration handled on-airport. The terminal is small and unhurried by design — private aviation passengers typically clear immigration in minutes rather than the queue-bound experience of larger commercial fields.

FBO (fixed-base operator) services at La Romana are coordinated through several established partners. The most commonly referenced are Universal Aviation, Servair, and Cariports. Each provides aircraft handling, ground support, fuel coordination, and passenger services.

Go Romana coordinates the FBO selection through our trusted operator partners as part of the standard concierge experience. For most charter clients, the FBO is invisible — handled in the background — but for clients with strong operator preferences or specific fueling and tech-stop requirements, we are happy to coordinate directly with a particular FBO of choice.

Arrival into LRM is among the fastest immigration experiences in the Caribbean. Charter passengers typically deplane at the FBO, walk a short distance to the immigration counter, present their passport (with a Dominican Republic tourist card if applicable — usually arranged in advance by Go Romana for our clients), and are met by chauffeured ground transport within minutes.

Outbound departures follow a similar rhythm. The airport is not large; even on busy resort weekends, the passenger flow remains quick relative to PUJ or SDQ. Operators familiar with the field — and the ones we work with are — typically coordinate slot times, fueling, and customs clearance in a single integrated handoff.

The Casa de Campo resort gates sit roughly eight minutes by car from the LRM terminal — a short, manicured drive through the property's outer roads. Go Romana coordinates chauffeured transfers to your specific villa, hotel suite, or other accommodation within the resort.

For travelers heading elsewhere on the south coast, LRM is also a practical entry point. Approximate drive times: Bayahibe (35 minutes), Santo Domingo (90 minutes, traffic-dependent), Punta Cana (about 2 hours via Autovía del Coral). Helicopter repositioning from LRM to PUJ and back is available through operator partners for clients with split-resort itineraries.

LRM sees consistent private jet traffic from the U.S. wealth corridors — particularly the Northeast and South Florida. Go Romana coordinates charter routes from each of the following U.S. private aviation hubs.

• TEB → LRMTeterboro to Casa de Campo~1620 NM
• HTO → LRMEast Hampton to Casa de Campo~1610 NM
• PBI → LRMPalm Beach to Casa de Campo~1065 NM
• OPF → LRMMiami to Casa de Campo~870 NM
• APF → LRMNaples to Casa de Campo~1205 NM

Charters from European departure points (London, Paris, Madrid, Geneva, Frankfurt) are also routinely arranged, typically on ultra-long-range aircraft.

LRM is the default for Casa de Campo. There are two cases where another field makes more sense.

Punta Cana International (PUJ / MDPC) is the right airport for clients heading to Cap Cana, Tortuga Bay, Eden Roc, Puntacana Resort & Club, or the broader Punta Cana hotel zone. The longer 10,499-foot runway accommodates everything LRM can plus widebody operations. Drive time from PUJ to Casa de Campo is about two hours.

Las Américas International (SDQ / MDSD) serves Santo Domingo. It is rarely the right airport for a Casa de Campo trip but is the standard for business travelers headed into the capital, which sits roughly an hour and a half away.
