Part 2/12:
Flying back to Germany from the Dominican Republic, a group of passengers was eager to return home after a lovely vacation. As they gathered at Gregorio Luperón International Airport, conditions were somewhat unsettled. Partially cloudy skies loomed overhead, with thunderstorms rolling in from the south. Complications began early when the originally scheduled Boeing 767 experienced technical issues and was grounded, leaving the charter company, Alas Nacionales, scrambling to secure a replacement aircraft.
