Punta Cana – Arajet began selling routes that will connect Punta Cana International Airport with North and South America, strengthening visitors’ arrivals in the eastern part of the country and continuing to consolidate the Dominican Republic as the continent’s new air hub.
The airline informed us that operations connecting Punta Cana with Sao Paulo, Toronto, Montreal, Santiago de Chile, Lima, Mexico City, and Cancun are already available. It indicated that the routes will begin on October 27 of this year and will also include connections to other destinations in the continent.
According to a press release, the announcement of direct flights to Punta Cana coincides with a promotion to the destination, with prices starting at only US$120 each way, including taxes.
Victor Pacheco Mendez, CEO & Founder of Arajet, expressed that the airline continues reinforcing its growth and expansion by making Punta Cana its second base and connecting it with the robust network of destinations it offers.
“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,” he explained.
He also indicated that the base at Las Americas International Airport (AILA) will continue to operate as usual and that many destinations to which Arajet flies will fly from both airports.
“Our idea is that all passengers have the greatest number of travel options, destinations to Mexico or Colombia, for example, will fly from both airports, and we will maintain a daily bus that will connect both airports by land in order to increase the number of possibilities for travelers to connect,” added Pacheco.
Punta Cana Airport becomes Arajet’s third destination in the Dominican Republic. In addition to the AILA, the airline maintains regular flights at Cibao International Airport and is exploring the possibility of adding flights from Puerto Plata International Airport.
