Arajet announced it achieved a new record in passengers transported in July 2025. According to data from the Civil Aviation Board (JAC), Arajet transported 128,178 passengers, not including an additional 15,000+ transit passengers. This surge in traffic pushed the airline past the 140,000-passenger mark for the first time in a single month.
The remarkable performance landed Arajet in the third spot for passenger traffic in the Dominican Republic for July. It followed only behind industry giants JetBlue (463,000) and American Airlines (216,000). For the first time, Arajet surpassed major US carriers Delta (126,000), United (123,000), and Copa (112,000).
The airline’s success also highlights its dominance within the local market. Arajet accounted for 80% of all passengers flown by Dominican airlines, with Sky High at 15% and other smaller carriers like Air Century, Red Air, and Panorama Jets making up the remaining 5%.
Arajet CEO and founder Víctor Pacheco expressed his excitement about the results. “We are in our best moment,” he said, “and this fills us with enthusiasm to continue building the new hub of the continent in the Dominican Republic.”
