Dominican flagship
airline Arajet has launched its U.S. operations with flights between the
Dominican Republic and Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico, followed shortly by New
York.
Tickets are currently on sale to 25 destinations starting at
$84 one-way.
The routes begin with four weekly flights to the Dominican
Republic, with connections to the Caribbean and South and Central American
destinations. Flights will depart from Miami International Airport (MIA) to
Santo Domingo (SDQ) on April 11, 2025, Miami to Punta Cana (PUJ) on June 13,
2025, and San Juan Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) to Santo
Domingo (SDQ) on June 5, 2025.
“Arajet is excited to welcome American tourists and the
diaspora community with low fares to the Dominican Republic and more than 20
exciting destinations,” said Victor Pacheco, CEO and founder of Arajet.
He added, “Miami, San Juan, and coming soon New York
represent strong tourism markets, and beginning U.S. operations with flights
from these cities is the next step towards realizing our vision of the DR as a
new travel hub of the continent. This is the beginning of our U.S. operations,
and these routes will expand tourism in our region, making it easier for
travelers to discover our country and connect to exciting destinations in
neighboring Caribbean islands as well as Central and South America.”
"Arajet's operations between the Dominican Republic and
Puerto Rico represent an estimated economic impact of about $10.4 million and
will boost the arrival of more international visitors, adding approximately
58,000 additional seats to the current market inventory,” said Puerto Rico
Governor González Colón.
“For the Government of Puerto Rico,” he added, “it is a
priority to support all airlines that help strengthen the island's air
connectivity and improve market competitiveness, and we are determined to
continue working hand in hand with the Dominican Republic to exponentially grow
our tourism together.”
