Arajet announces new Argentina route

The Dominican ultra-low-cost carrier Arajet has announced a new international route connecting Santo Domingo Las Américas International with Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport. This will be the first time the two cities will be directly connected. On November 14, 2023, Arajet will begin operating three weekly flights between both cities on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Arajet has announced five new routes in the last couple of weeks. This created great expectation after the company’s CEO hinted about it on X. Some thought the Dominican ultra-low-cost carrier might finally announce a flight to the United States. Instead, the airline received authorization from Argentina’s civil aviation authorities to begin servicing Buenos Aires. Upon launching services to Buenos Aires, Arajet will offer 20 destinations in 15 countries across the Americas. The airline will turn one year old in September. In a year, it has created a low-cost hub in Santo Domingo, replicating the success of other companies such as Copa Airlines (in Tocumen) and Icelandair (in Keflavík). Arajet employs Santo Domingo as a hub connecting destinations such as Montreal and Toronto in the north with cities such as São Paulo, Santiago, and now Buenos Aires in the South.<br/>
