Arajet has announced that it has successfully transported five million passengers since it began operations in September 2022, marking a key milestone for the Dominican Republic’s flag carrier.
The airline stated that this achievement reflects its significant expansion throughout the Americas, with current service to over 30 destinations across 17 countries. Arajet operates from its hubs in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana.
The airline’s network includes direct flights to the Dominican Republic and connecting services that link locations across North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
This milestone comes after a notable increase in passenger traffic. In 2025, Arajet carried 1,480,278 passengers, which represents a 37% increase from the previous year. Additionally, during the first half of 2026, the airline transported 1,022,593 passengers, up from 624,706 in the same period in 2025.
Víctor Pacheco Méndez, the CEO and founder of Arajet, commented on the achievement, stating, “Reaching five million passengers demonstrates the trust we have built and the opportunity that having an airline capable of connecting the Americas represents for the Dominican Republic.”
Pacheco further emphasized that each new route adds opportunities to attract visitors, enhance market connections, and stimulate economic activity. He concluded with a vision for continued growth to enable more people to fly and solidify the Dominican Republic’s position as a connectivity hub in the region.
