SANTO DOMINGO.-Ultra-low-cost airline Frontier Airlines announced that it will begin seasonal flights from Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo (SDQ) to Atlanta (ATL) and Tampa (TPA) in May of this year.
Frontier also offers direct flights from Santo Domingo to Orlando (MCO) and San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU).
“We are very excited about the increase in flights to our network in Santo Domingo with this new flight to Atlanta,” said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president of Commercial at Frontier Airlines.
He explained that the Dominican Republic now has convenient and affordable options for visiting the most popular cities in the United States, and at the same time Atlanta has a huge base that represents an increase in visitors and a great economic impact for the country.
“It is very gratifying to welcome this new route from Frontier Airlines, increasing the options travelers have to reach the Dominican Republic. This new service is a testament to the strength and great appeal this nation holds as a tourist destination for American travelers,” stated David Collado, Minister of Tourism.
He said he has personally visited Atlanta twice, convinced that the untapped potential is almost the same as the current market. “I appreciate this new commitment from Frontier, which will allow more visitors to choose the Dominican Republic as a vacation destination,” Collado stated.
“We are pleased to welcome this new low-cost travel option to Atlanta at Santo Domingo Airport, with flights twice a week, in partnership with Frontier Airlines. In addition to the new route to Tampa, which will begin in May 2023, Atlanta will be the fourth route operated by Frontier Airlines in Santo Domingo, demonstrating their dynamism and confidence in this market,” said Fabien Gourdon, Chief Commercial Officer of Aerodom.
He added that consumers can now take advantage of Frontier's "well-made low fares" to visit the many exciting attractions and activities that Atlanta has to offer; and will also benefit from the great network of connections at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the third largest "megahub" in the world for international flight connectivity.
