In May 2007, the company received the Air Operator Certificate Part 121 from the Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation (IDAC), which allows the airline to operate regular services from the Dominican Republic to North, Central, and South America, as well as the Caribbean region and charter services around the world.

Due to this, the JAC suspended the airline for 90 days and was not allowed to travel, therefore it generated many complaints with passengers who were stranded in air terminals.

On February 2, 2018, a new element was added due to the suspension and that is the lack of maintenance to the airline's fleet.

PAWA was working to consolidate flights to New York and Miami (service started Nov. 2016) and other Caribbean Islands.

In the future, PAWA would have planned flights from Santiago and Punta Cana to Miami, New York, and San Juan.
