Aviation Shake-Up: Dominican aviation regulators say Spirit’s exit will have only a “moderate” impact on low-cost routes, arguing Frontier, Southwest, Arajet and JetBlue can absorb demand—though Spirit still carried 4% of DR–Washington passengers in 2025. Road Safety: President Luis Abinader signed Decree 330-26 extending driver’s license validity for seniors over 65, with new timelines by license category and continued medical/aptitude checks. Energy Costs: The government is keeping LPG prices frozen via RD$1.435 billion in subsidies while adjusting gasoline and diesel retail prices for May 16–22 amid higher global oil. Cyber Defense: Indotel and the Ministry of Defense agreed to boost telecom and cyber security, including spectrum monitoring and a border monitoring center. Citizenship & Culture: 149 foreign nationals became Dominican citizens, and Santo Domingo kicked off the Long Night of Museums with free events nationwide.
