Arajet, the low-fare Dominican airline, has plans to enter the U.S. market in the second quarter of 2025 with flights from New York, Miami and Puerto Rico. Arajet has received approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) under the Open Skies agreement between the Dominican Republic and the United States to bring these three key routes to the latter.
Arajet has the largest passenger movement of all Dominican airlines, surpassing 1 million passengers in 2024 and flying over 100,000 passengers for several consecutive months. This represents more than 7 percent of the total number of passengers flying to and from the Dominican Republic, emphasizing the airline’s growing presence in the country’s air market. The airline operates two hubs with connecting flights to 23 destinations, and since opening its second hub in Punta Cana, Arajet is projected as the most active Dominican airline. The carrier also flies into Santo Domingo.
The Open Skies Air Transport Agreement between the Dominican and the U.S. marks an important achievement in air connectivity, eliminating restrictions on flight routes and frequencies between the two countries. American tourists can soon enjoy more affordable, direct routes to the D.R., which will promote economic growth in the country.
