Santo Domingo.- Arajet is preparing to launch flights connecting Santo Domingo with the U.S., but the first flight is now anticipated in the first half of 2025.
Manuel Luna, the company’s public relations officer, explained that the delay is due to the implementation of the Bilateral Air Transport Agreement between the Dominican Republic and the U.S., signed in early August in the presence of President Luis Abinader. The treaty must be reviewed by the Constitutional Court, approved by Congress, and then formalized with diplomatic notes before it takes effect.
Once these processes are complete, Arajet expects to receive approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation for its proposed routes. Although there is no specific timeline, the airline is ready to commence flights as soon as possible, with the realistic expectation that operations will begin in the first half of 2025.
