[Dolores]

Arajet announces that they are working to launch a first flight to the United States this spring. The first flight would be Santo Domingo (Las Americas International Airport) to New York on 16 April 2025, as reported in Listin Diario. The plan is to offer two daily frequencies from SDQ to New York, said Victor Pacheco, Arajet chief executive officer.

The airline also seeks to start the Santo Domingo-Miami, Santo Domingo-San Juan, Puerto Rico. The SDQ-SJU route would have eight frequencies per day.

When Arajet finds out how many wheel chairs they will need to load in NYC they might change their minds on this route.

Agreed. The airlines could all solve this problem real quickly. Board the wheelchairs (and their 10 "family support assistants") LAST. You'll see miraculous cures.

These planes will not have seats, only wheel clamps.

Great, another set of flights of no use to me. The north coast is the bastard child of flights and tourism.

Just curious, would you fly Arajet if it was available to you?

We've been on the same boat for years... Ever since the pandemic POP airport has been useless for us due to pricing and schedules... Rant over...

For tourism, to be honest, I'm not sure if I miss mass tourism from the NC: There are already quite a few people there...

Indeed. There are far fewer tourists and far more expats with more condos being readied on a weekly basis for those snowbirds and expats. Traffic will only get worse in our one horse north coast towns. How many more traffic lights are yet to be installed on route 5?

People that snowbird here don't mind having to use other airports to save money on their way to the north coast. Some even put up with the prices at POP and work around the very limited flights to get in an out of their condos and villas/
