Arajet, the flagship airline of the Dominican Republic today expands its U.S. presence, announcing ticket sales for flights from New York Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Las Américas Santo Domingo Airport (SDQ) with fares starting as low as $262 USD roundtrip.
The new route will start operations on June 16 and will serve as a vital connection between the Dominican Republic and the New York metropolitan area, which is home to the largest community of the Dominican diaspora.
Victor Pacheco, CEO and founder of Arajet said: “Arajet is committed to making air travel accessible and affordable for the Dominican community and American tourists alike, and New York is a key market to strengthen our U.S. presence.
“The Newark service will complement routes between the DR, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, to establish Arajet as a carrier of choice for U.S. travellers booking vacations and getaways as well as visiting friends and family.
“We look forward to welcoming travelers with the convenience, affordability, and exceptional service Arajet is known for.”
Arajet made the announcement at the Gregorio Luperón school in Washington Heights, a community with a large Dominican population; along with the New York congressman of Dominican origin, Adriano Espaillat, as well as the Dominican consuls, Jesús Vázquez and José Santana, from New York and New Jersey respectively.
