Low-fare Dominican airline Arajet announced plans to enter
the U.S. market in the second quarter of 2025 with flights from New York, Miami
and Puerto Rico to Santa Domingo and Punta Cana.
Projected as the most active
Dominican airline, Arajet now offers flights to 23 destinations.
“This is an important milestone and we are excited to
officially launch in the United States next year,” said Victor Pacheco, CEO and
founder of Arajet in a statement. “These routes will open more travel to the
U.S., a very important market for the Dominican
Republic, and our low-fare flights will provide new opportunities to grow
tourism and business. We’re eager to welcome American travelers and its
diaspora communities to the Dominican Republic and further establish
the country as an exciting hub connecting to 16 countries in the Americas.
“With Open Skies coming into effect today, Arajet’s routes
to the U.S. are now approved to move forward,” added David Collado, the
Minister of Tourism for the Dominican Republic. “This is a huge victory and
realizes our vision to enable all Dominican airlines to fly to more
destinations and increase competitiveness with the most important market for
the country.”
The Open Skies Air Transport Agreement between the Dominican
Republic and the U.S. represents an important achievement in air connectivity,
eliminating restrictions on flight routes and frequencies between the two
countries. American tourists can enjoy more affordable, direct routes to the Dominican
Republic which will also promote economic growth in the country.
Tickets will be available for purchase once final approval
is received from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
