Eastern Airlines made modifications to its reservation system, suspending operations to Santo Domingo from Boston and Miami. Flights to Dominican Republic capital city were scheduled from May 27th, with 9 weekly frequencies taking into account both routes.
As a result of demand, the airline canceled operations between United States and Santo Domingo. Eastern Airlines was interested in Santo Domingo starting with Boston and Miami, but the competitiveness on routes between United States and Dominican Republic caused this suspensions.
