“At Arajet, we are committed to making the Dominican Republic the new air hub of the continent and very soon we will be adding other destinations that will fly from Punta Cana, such as Buenos Aires, Quito, Guayaquil, Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena with the most competitive prices in the market,” stated Arajet CEO and Founder Victor Pacheco Mendez in a press release.

In addition, Pacheco Mendez indicated that the base at Las Americas International Airport (LAIA), near Santo Domingo, will continue to operate as usual and that many destinations served by Arajet will be offered from both airports.

“Our goal is for all Arajet passengers to have as many options and destinations as possible. In Mexico or Colombia, for example, we will fly from both airports and maintain a daily bus connecting travelers by land to increase the number of possible connections,” he said. 

Punta Cana Airport becomes Arajet's third destination in the Dominican Republic. In addition to LAIA, the airline maintains regular flights at Cibao International and is exploring adding flights from Puerto Plata airport.
