    According to the airline’s statement, this marks the first time in over three decades that a Dominican carrier operates nonstop flights between New York and Santo Domingo. Arajet will offer introductory round-trip fares starting at $262, with one-way tickets available from $127 from Newark and $135 from Santo Domingo.

    A Strategic Route for the Dominican Community

    The airline highlighted the strategic importance of this route, emphasizing that New York is home to the largest Dominican community outside the country. The new connection is expected to facilitate travel for both the Dominican diaspora and U.S. tourists visiting the Dominican Republic.

    "Arajet is committed to making air travel accessible and affordable for both the Dominican community and U.S. tourists. New York is a key market for strengthening our presence in the United States," said Víctor Pacheco, CEO and founder of Arajet.

    The official announcement took place at Gregorio Luperón High School in Washington Heights, a neighborhood known for its large Dominican population. The event was attended by officials, including U.S. Congressman Adriano Espaillat, as well as Dominican consuls Jesús Vázquez (New York) and José Santana (New Jersey).

    Growing Arajet’s U.S. Presence

    New York/Newark will be Arajet’s second destination in the contiguous United States, following the airline’s U.S. debut in Miami on April 11. San Juan, Puerto Rico, will also be added to the network on June 4.

    According to Arajet, Congressman Espaillat emphasized that the new route is part of an ongoing effort to enhance connectivity between the two countries, supported by the recent Open Skies agreement signed between the Dominican Republic and the United States.

    Dominican consuls also praised initiatives led by President Luis Abinader’s administration, including:

    • The Open Skies agreement
    • The enactment of a new aviation law
    • Regulatory adjustments that helped the Dominican Republic maintain its FAA Category 1 status

    Convenient Connections and Accessibility
