Arajet will begin service at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), the airline said in a news release on Monday, Mar. 10. The nonstop flights to Santo Domingo will start on Monday, June 16.
Newark will be Arajet's second US destination after service launches at Miami International Airport in April.
"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 US presence," said CEO and founder Victor Pacheco. "The Newark service will complement routes between the DR, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, to establish Arajet as a carrier of choice for US travelers 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 announced the expansion at Gregorio Luperón High School for Science and Mathematics in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. Airline and Dominican officials were joined by Rep. Adriano Espaillat, the first Dominican American to serve in Congress.
Once in Santo Domingo, travelers can explore the Dominican Republic or connect to 24 other destinations in the Caribbean, along with locations in Central and South America. One-way fares start at $127 from Newark to Santo Domingo and $135 for the return trip.
JetBlue and United Airlines also offer flights from EWR to Santo Domingo and Punta Cana.
