Arajet has launched a direct route with two weekly flights connecting the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. The airline believes that the new route will represent a significant opportunity to stimulate the air and tourist traffic between Santo Domingo and Kingston, strengthen ties between the two regions and build a bridge that allows communication and transportation of national and international travellers.
Víctor Pacheco Méndez, CEO and founder, Arajet, said: “My dream is that a tourist who visits the Dominican Republic from Europe or the United States, can spend a few days in my country, learning to dance merengue and enjoying our wonderful white sand beaches. And later, from Santo Domingo, they can also take advantage of our new direct route to Kingston and get infected with their reggae and visit the waterfalls at Ocho Ríos, Montego Bay, and all the other scenic destinations this beautiful country has to offer.”
Since its launch in September 2022, Arajet has inaugurated 15 destinations of its initial network. The airline connects Santo Domingo with point-to-point, non-stop flights to Mexico City, Monterrey, and Cancun in Mexico; San José in Costa Rica; San Salvador in El Salvador; Guatemala City in Guatemala; Lima in Peru, Quito and Guayaquil in Ecuador; Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Marteen in the Caribbean; and Cali, Barranquilla and Cartagena in Colombia.
In December, Arajet will continue inaugurating direct flights to Medellín and Bogotá in Colombia.
