Dominican airline Arajet is set to launch its first U.S. routes this spring, marking a significant step in its plan to establish a Pan-American hub in Santo Domingo. The budget carrier will begin operations with flights from Santo Domingo's Las Americas International Airport (SDQ) to Miami International Airport (MIA) on April 11, followed by flights to San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) starting June 5. Both routes will operate six days a week.
Additionally, Arajet will connect MIA and Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) four times a week beginning June 13. Later in June, the airline also plans to introduce flights between New York and Santo Domingo, although no specific start date has been announced for this route.
"Beginning U.S. operations with flights from these cities is the next step towards realizing our vision of the [Dominican Republic] as a new travel hub of the continent," said Victor Pacheco, CEO and founder of Arajet. "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."
