Cabin Crew Training and Hiring
In parallel with the flight crew program, the airline completed the training of 18 new Dominican cabin crew members.
As with the flight deck staff, flight attendants received fully funded training scholarships, securing direct employment upon successful completion of their instruction. This personnel will strengthen the on-board experience, operational safety, and service standards across the carrier’s route network.
Arajet Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Founder, Victor Pacheco Mendez, emphasized the significance of these promotions for the national aviation ecosystem:
“Every new Dominican who joins Arajet represents the growth of our airline, but also the growth of our industry. We are immensely proud to welcome these new First Officers, cabin crew, and team members who are joining our family today and who, alongside us, will carry the Dominican flag to new destinations. We want Arajet’s development to continue creating opportunities for our people and paving the way for more Dominicans to build a career in aviation.”
Since launching operations, Arajet has maintained its commitment to providing training and professional development opportunities across administrative, technical, and operational areas, building a strong foundation for commercial aviation in the Dominican Republic.
