Caribbean budget carrier Arajet has launched its first connection between Mexico City and Medellín.
The route, which includes a stop in Santo Domingo, is part of what the airline claimed as its "writing [of] a new chapter in the history of Dominican aviation that will enable the country to become the great low-price hub of the Americas".
“ Since last Friday, March 24, our passengers can fly from Mexico City to Medellín, using Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo as a connection point, without going through immigration or looking for luggage. With this connection, we begin a new era in our low-price hub in the Dominican Republic," said Víctor Pacheco Méndez, chief executive and founder of Arajet.
Pacheco added that his airline would add a "fifth frequency" on Saturdays between Mexico City's Felipe Ángeles Airport and Santo Domingo.
