Tourism Minister David Colladoand Arajet CEO and founder Victor Pacheco announced yesterday, December 4, that starting next spring, Arajet will operate a third daily flight to Newark Airport (EWR), USA.
In a press release, they said the announcement responds to the sustained growth in demand from the Dominican diaspora in the United States, as well as the increased flow of tourists and travelers between both countries.
According to Pacheco, this new daily route will reinforce Arajet's commitment to offering an accessible, competitive and quality service, especially during key seasons such as Christmas.
Furthermore, both officials confirmed that during this year's Christmas holidays, the Dominican diaspora "will be guaranteed the most affordable prices on the market," reaffirming that Arajet seeks to facilitate family reunions without sacrificing the budget.
“This is the result of all the effort the Dominican government made to sign open skies agreements, fostering greater competition and better connectivity. Thanks to this, today we see a Dominican airline flying to six cities in the United States at the most competitive prices on the market,” Collado stated.
To date, Arajet currently operates two daily flights between Santo Domingo (Las Américas Airport, SDQ) and Newark (EWR). The first flight, a regular service, departs Santo Domingo at 6:10 am and arrives in Newark at 9:30 am, while the second, recently added flight departs at 7:10 pm and arrives at 10:30 pm.
With this third daily flight planned for next spring, Arajet expands its offering to meet the growing demand for travel between the Dominican Republic and the diaspora in New York, while reinforcing its position as a low-cost, high-value alternative for domestic and international travelers.
