Santo Domingo continues to reinforce its positioning as the hub for the Caribbean with direct flights to capitals of the English-speaking Caribbean.
Santo Domingo’s Las Americas, with Arajet, Sky High and Sky Cana are connecting the insular and continental Caribbean. Likewise, Air Century also maintains regular service to and from several islands in the Caribbean.
Most recently, Sky High began its weekly flights to Georgetown, Guyana, further connecting the English-speaking Caribbean with the Dominican Republic. The airline is flying on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO) in Georgetown, Guyana from Santo Domingo’s Las Americas International (SDQ).
The airline uses an Embraer 190 with 97 seats and offers business class.
The inaugural flight was on 18 February 2024.
On the inaugural day, the commercial director of SkyHigh Dominicana, Víctor Nina, welcomed the start thanking Guyana President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, the Civil Aviation Authority of Guyana and the management and staff of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport for their support in the venture.
“As we embark on this journey, it is essential to recognize the important role that Santo Domingo plays as a natural center of connectivity. With our three weekly flights from Santo Domingo, SkyHigh Dominicana not only offers new travel opportunities, but our operations complement the large number of airlines that converge in this important hub,” explained Nina.
He pointed out that this new route strengthens commercial, social and cultural relations between both countries. He remarked that both countries have signed six memorandums of understanding to develop tourism, energy, agriculture and exports, turning this connectivity into another milestone to develop and promote these agreements.
