Another traveler told Local 10 News she is part of a large group who are all on their way to the Dominican Republic.

“We are going to the DR so we are meeting in the Miami airport, but there is a group of 30 of us so half of us are in different states and a lot of people couldn’t make it to their flights,” said traveler Katie, who arrived from Salt Lake City. “We didn’t think we would make it here today, but we’re here.”

As passengers try to get their holiday travel back on track, the investigation into what caused the deadly crash continues.
