Queen Letizia made a one-hour technical stopover in the Dominican Republic, at José Francisco Peña Gómez International Airport (in Las Américas), when the aircraft in which she was traveling to Honduras landed to refuel.
The queen preferred to stay seated in the aircraft and not go down to the protocol hall, while the plane received maintenance and fuel, from the operations staff of the company Aerodom.
A group of officials who accompany the Spanish queen chosen, however, to get off the plane and share in the lounge of ambassadors of the terminal for 45 minutes with personalities who came to receive.
Letizia is launching a two-day humanitarian visit to Honduras on Monday, where she will provide assistance to those affected by the floods caused by Hurricanes Iota and Eta last November.
Her Majesty Queen Letizia will arrive this Monday in La Ceiba, in northern Honduras, where she will deliver 120 tons of humanitarian aid, which will be distributed among the Honduran population affected by the rains, said the executive headquarters through the social network .
The humanitarian burden includes rapid diagnostic tests for covid-19 and it is vital for us to target people affected by storms Eta and Iota, local media outlets reported.
At Las Américas International Airport, His Majesty was received by a commission of officials from the Spanish Embassy in the Dominican Republic, Alejandro Abellán García, and other personalities.
In addition, as it transpired, the visit will serve to present a project of educational digitalization, which Spain will begin to implement experimentally in Honduras once the real emergency is overcome
