Arajet, the Dominican low-fare airline, has officially launched operations in Canada with direct flights between Toronto and Santo Domingo. The airline will be flying out of Toronto four days per week — Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays — increasing the air connectivity between the two countries.
Toronto's Pearson International Airport is now one of 22 destinations offered by Arajet in the region. The airline also becomes the first to fly directly from Toronto to Las Americas Airport in Santo Domingo.
"Arajet makes history by being the first Dominican airline to fly to Canada, providing new opportunities to grow business and tourism between our two nations,” said Victor Pacheco, Founder and CEO of Arajet. “Arajet also establishes Santo Domingo as an exciting new hub for Canadians, connecting them to more than 10 countries in the Americas, such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Curacao, Aruba, and Colombia, with a low fare airline that doesn’t compromise on customer service and experience."
The Ambassador of the Dominican Republic to Canada, Frank Hans Dannenberg added: “The inauguration of this new air route by Arajet is not only a business achievement but also a significant step in the interconnection between Canada and the Latin American region, as it will strengthen the mobility between Canadians and Dominicans, at competitive prices.”
“We are thrilled to be the first part of Arajet’s expansion into the Canadian market,” said Khalil Lamrabet, Chief Commercial Officer of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “This new route will link Toronto Pearson to a new level of connectivity in Central and South America. It’s just another way we are working to increase travel options for the millions of passengers who pass through our airport every year.”
