Arajet launches its first connection to turn Dominican Republic into a regional hub for low fares
Arajet launched its first connection between Mexico City and Medellin -with a stopover in Santo Domingo- during the Tianguis Turístico 2023, Mexico’s most important tourism fair, writing a new chapter in the history of Dominican aviation that will enable the country to become the great low-cost hub of the Americas.
“The context of Tianguis Turístico is the ideal scenario to launch connections, Arajet’s first major evolution as an airline. Since last Friday, March 24, our passengers can fly from Mexico City to Medellin, using Las Americas International Airport in Santo Domingo as a connection point, without going through immigration or baggage claim. With this connection we begin a new era in our low-fare hub in the Dominican Republic,” said Victor Pacheco Mendez, CEO and founder of Arajet, during the press conference in Mexico City.
Pacheco also announced a fifth frequency to Mexico City on Saturdays from Santo Domingo International Airport to Felipe Angeles Airport available from May 6, which completes the airline’s offer on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
In connection with the launch of connections and the presence of Arajet for the first time at the fair with a stand as the only international low-cost airline invited to the event, Pacheco launched the last stage of the “Vuelatón de Precios Bajos” promotion with flights from Mexico City and Cancun to Santo Domingo with a fare of USD5 per leg (taxes and fees not included). The promotion will run from today through Friday, March 31, and is available for travel from April 11 through October 28, 2023 (excluding dates from July 1 through August 15, 2023).
“We celebrate with the Mexican people our milestone of having transported 30,000 people to and from Mexico, and our leadership in international passenger transportation at Felipe Angeles International Airport, with a single fare, so that both Mexicans and Dominicans can enjoy tourism and commercial and business opportunities between our two sister countries,” said Pacheco.
“Mexico is the second largest trading partner for the Dominican Republic, and Arajet has managed to crystallize through our routes from Santo Domingo and with connections, a common interest in strengthening economic, tourism and commercial exchange,” he said.
A second phase of connections will include flights from Mexico City and Cancun to St. Maarten, Aruba, Curacao and Jamaica in the Caribbean.
