Key Takeaways:

Arajet is gearing up to launch its long-awaited service to the U.S. The Dominican Republic-based airline received approval from the Department of Transportation last month.

The carrier already announced plans to serve Miami, New York, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. However, only one route is on sale so far.

Flights between Santo Domingo and Miami are set to launch on April 11. Miami will be served four times per week.

Arajet operates an all-Boeing 737 MAX fleet and primarily connects the Americas. The airline ‒ which began operations in 2022 ‒ serves over 20 destinations in Canada as well as the Caribbean and South America.
