JetBlue Airways launches its direct Boston-Santo Domingo flight this coming Saturday, 19 June. JetBlue is the airline with the greatest number of non-stop destinations from Logan International Airport. JetBlue will initially offer non-stop flights between Boston and the Dominican capital three days per week (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays) with plans to expand to daily service over the peak winter season. This new non-stop link complements JetBlue’s existing connecting service available daily between Boston and the Dominican cities of Puerto Plata, Santiago and Santo Domingo.
JetBlue’s schedule to Santo Domingo is Boston (BOS) to Las Americas International (SDQ) departing at 12:30pm, arriving at 4:28pm. The return flight departs SDQ at 5:30pm and arrives to BOS at 9:30pm.
“Aerodom is very pleased with JetBlue’s decision to offer scheduled low cost air service between Boston and Santo Domingo,” said Rodolfo Salgado, CEO of Aerodom, the operator of the Santo Domingo airport.
“Boston is a major US market with a significant and growing Dominican population and a steadily increasing number of tourists from Boston and surrounding area booking vacations in the Dominican Republic. We are confident that, as a result of this new route, tourism and commercial ties between these two vibrant cities will be strengthened, making this very good news indeed for the Dominican Republic.”
JetBlue will operate its new Boston – Santo Domingo service aboard 150-seat Airbus A320 jets.
