Santo Domingo.- Dominican airline Arajet has become the first carrier in the country’s history to transport more than 1 million passengers during the first six months of a year, marking a major milestone for the nation’s aviation industry.

According to the Civil Aviation Board (JAC), Arajet carried 922,593 passengers on flights to and from the Dominican Republic between January and June 2026. Combined with more than 100,000 connecting passengers through its hubs in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana, the airline surpassed the one-million-passenger mark during the first half of the year.
