Arajet to close the year with 9 aircraft
Dominican airline Arajet reported Monday that it will close the year with nine aircraft and that it will have an overall direct impact on the economy of the Dominican Republic in excess of 2 billion pesos by 2023 through taxes and fees paid to the State.
Víctor Pacheco Méndez, CEO and founder of Arajet, made the announcement at the ceremony to receive the airline’s 7th aircraft, named “Lago Enriquillo”, at the Las Américas International Airport, together with Luis Valdez, Director General of Internal Taxes, and Monika Infante, CEO of AERODOM.

“2023 has been a great year for Arajet and for the country, since through taxes and fees we have directly contributed some two thousand ninety million pesos to the Dominican State and we have already reached 400 direct collaborators,” said Pacheco Méndez.
“It is a milestone to have transported more than half a million passengers in our first calendar year of operations which we will end with 9 new Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft to continue to boost the connectivity of our country and the entire continent through the Santo Domingo Hub.”
He concluded by projecting that by 2024 they expect to have a 3 times greater impact on the economy, transporting more than 1.5 million passengers, but indicated that this will require the signing of the open skies treaty with the United States so that the airline can fly to that country where the majority of the Dominican diaspora resides.
