Arajet begins ticket sales for new Punta Cana routes

Santo Domingo.- Arajet, the Caribbean’s low-cost airline, has started selling tickets for new routes connecting Punta Cana International Airport with North and South America. This move aims to boost visitor arrivals to the eastern part of the Dominican Republic and further establish the country as a new air hub in the Americas.

Arajet announced that flights connecting Punta Cana with São Paulo, Toronto, Montreal, Santiago de Chile, Lima, Mexico City, and Cancun will begin on October 27 of this year. The new routes will also offer connections to other destinations across the continent.

In a statement to the media, Arajet highlighted a promotion for direct flights to Punta Cana, with prices starting at $120 per trip, including taxes.

Víctor Pacheco Méndez, CEO and Founder of Arajet, emphasized the airline’s commitment to growth and expansion, making Punta Cana its second base. “At Arajet, we are committed to making the Dominican Republic the new air hub of the continent. Very soon, we will add other destinations from Punta Cana, such as Buenos Aires, Quito, Guayaquil, Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena, offering the most competitive prices in the market,” Pacheco Méndez said.

Pacheco also reassured that operations at the Las Américas International Airport base will continue as usual, with many destinations served from both airports. “Our goal is to provide passengers with the greatest number of travel options. For instance, destinations in Mexico or Colombia will be accessible from both airports. We will maintain a daily bus service connecting the two air terminals to increase connection possibilities for travelers,” he added.

With the addition of Punta Cana Airport, Arajet now serves three destinations in the Dominican Republic, including regular flights from Cibao International Airport. The airline is also exploring the possibility of adding flights from Puerto Plata International Airport.
