Seaborne Airlines has announced that its flights from the Luis Munoz International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) will begin on Thursday, 12 December.
DR1 had erroneously reported the flights would begin on 15 December.
Initially, the flights will operate on Thursdays and Sundays, moving to a daily schedule as of 15 March 2014. The La Romana airport is best for travelers to La Romana, Casa de Campo or Dominicus/Bayahibe golf and beach destinations, but the airport is also 30 minutes from Higuey, and 40 minutes from Punta Cana.
The flights will depart from San Juan at 1:15pm and have a 3:15pm return. Seaborne is flying a roomy 34-seat Saab with two pilots, a flight attendant and in-flight service on the route.
To mark the launch of the new Seaborne destination, the airline is offering fares as low as $129 one way, with taxes included for travel. Bookings must be made by 30 November 2013 for travel by 6 March 2014.
“Seaborne is delighted to be bringing the on-time service we are becoming known for to the Dominican Republic” said Gary Foss, Seaborne’s president and chief executive officer. “La Romana is the first of a number of markets that Seaborne plans to serve in the Dominican Republic, and the 12th airport Seaborne serves as we continue expansion throughout the Caribbean”.
Seaborne Airlines has been operating in the Caribbean for over 20 years. With over 1,700 monthly departures to twelve destinations on both airport and seaplane routes, Seaborne serves San Juan’s Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, Vieques, St. Thomas airport and seaplane bases, St. Croix airport and seaplane bases, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Dominica, Martinique and Guadeloupe and now La Romana in December. Seaborne has carried more than two million customers safely and is one of the largest employers in the United States Virgin Islands.
