Back in December, I wrote about a low-cost airline and the flag carrier of the Dominican Republic named Arajet. Its operations began in September 2022 with a flight to Colombia’s Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport (BAO). The carrier began flying to the United States this year with Miami International Airport (MIA) and San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) as destinations. Earlier this year, Arajet announced plans to add 4x weekly flights to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) starting on June 16th. Now, the airline has announced definitive plans to add a fourth US destination: Boston Logan International Airport (BOS).
Flights between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Las Américas Santo Domingo Airport (SDQ) will begin on November 20th and run 4x weekly on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. In March, Arajet said this was one of the routes it wanted to add and now it has done so. Other potential future routes include:
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
- Orlando International Airport (MCO)
- Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
The airline uses Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft that have the capacity to reach any city on the East Coast and some in the Midwest. Arajet seems to be growing rapidly and I have to assume we’ll hear more route announcements soon.
Victor Pacheco, CEO and Founder of Arajet, said:
The Boston area is home to one of the largest Dominican communities in the U.S. and serves as a key hub for education, business, and tourism. With this addition, Arajet’s presence in major U.S. markets will capture strong demand for low-fare, high-quality service between North America and Latin America, reflecting our commitment to building a bridge between the regions and opening new travel opportunities for both leisure and business travelers.”
Arajet will also offer passengers easy connections across the Caribbean and Latin America. It serves more than 25 destinations across 17 countries including Aruba, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and others.
Anthony’s Take: Before writing about the airline in December, I had never heard of Arajet. The routes it is choosing make sense based on populations wanting easy access to family and vacationers looking to the Dominican Republic for some time in the sun.
