I was able to talk with Víctor Pacheco, CEO of Arajet, who told us more details about the airline's plans, Destinations, fleet and its plans in Ecuador.
An airline is about to take off in the American air market, Headquartered in the Dominican Republic and with its base of operations in Santo Domingo, Arajet seeks to become an air reference in the region.
Whenever a new airline enters the market, it does so with great expectation and also with many concerns., That is why we spoke with Victor Pacheco, its CEO, to learn more about the newest airline in the region..
We speak with Victor Pacheco, CEO of Arajet
Victor has a degree in Business Administration and since August 2021 held the position of Founder and President of Arajet, but since January of this year he took the reins of the airline as CEO, although it reveals to us that «the project of Arajet have 10 years since conception.
The project is not new and is not born overnight, which has required many years of work together with the local regulatory entity to achieve the goal of having a new Dominican airline that is a regional benchmark.
«Son 40 los Boeing 737 MAX new ones we have bought, which has allowed us to have a unique alliance and closeness with Boeing». This ensures that you have helped the process of certification before the authority at all times, investment with Boeing will exceed $4000 millions of dollars.
Arajet was born out of the need to offer Dominican Republic a national airline, but with a great international projection, but above all focused on offering fair and realistic costs for the local economy: “We are an ultra low cost airline”.
Víctor also points out that the service and warmth that passengers will receive on the flights will make them feel Caribe from the moment they step on one of the Boeing 737 MAX, which, according to his words, "are the planes with the least fuel consumption From the market, which will allow us to grow solidly throughout the region».
About growth plans after announcing 20 initial destinations, highlighted the immediate intentions to operate flights to USA and Canada, all subject to the arrival of more aircraft, but also depending on the demand and results that the first routes achieve, hoping to consolidate them in the first months of operation.
The airline seeks to be a benchmark in the region, but with the Dominican touch, generating a central point of operations at the International Airport of the Americas, that when inquiring about why to choose this airport over Punta Cana, a greater attraction for potential tourists, He told us «Santo Domingo is in the middle of the country, from here travelers can go to Punta Cana in 2 hours and 30 minutes or to any area of the country and its many tourist attractions. It is a key point in the country that, in addition to being the capital, offers a great historical attraction» he pointed out.
Among his first destinations will be Ecuador with flights to Quito and Guayaquil that start the first days of November and that are on sale from $241 dollars round trip. At this point we ask you about why Ecuador:
“Ecuador is a great market for us, not only for its tourist attractions, but also because we share a significant number of Ecuadorians and Dominicans living in both countries, that will feed the path. We always look for destinations that combine tourist traffic with family trips, even more so when we can also offer a wide range of connections in Santo Domingo without a visa, only with the passport.» highlighted.
For this path to stay, grow in capacity and frequencies, Victor encourages that it is necessary for the government and its different actors to bet on the Dominican Republic as a country that generates trade and cultural exchange with Ecuador., for which he highlights that promotion will be key to consolidating the route.
At the close we asked the CEO of Arajet about where he saw the airline a year after starting operations, such as a job interview question and indicated the following:
“In a year we seek to be in an important position in the air market of the region, having managed to position all our first routes and begin to expand towards new potential destinations, that thanks to the Boeing 737 MAX we will be able to arrive efficiently thanks to our business model». Victor Pacheco finished, CEO of Arajet.
We will be waiting for the start of operations of what will be the first Dominican airline operating in Ecuador from next November, also of the development of these and all their flights.

bad communication, NOWHERE ARE THERE PRICES TO TRAVEL TO ARGENTINA…
Hello there, What happens is that this airline does not fly to Argentina.
Dear Nicholas:
always a fan of your blog, but there is a spelling error in the text to be corrected, the word "cede" does not apply in the syntax and spelling of the text, the correct word is "headquarters".
Kind regards,
Thank you Bolivar, it has been checked.
@Eddy Sardines. For now Arajet will not fly to Cuba since the Cuban government only allows two Dominican airlines to fly to Cuba and there are already two airlines that are offering this service such as Air Century and Skycana. Therefore Arajet can only fly if one of these 2 they retire from Cuba.
Thanks for the info Yoneidi..
Good afternoon. When will the flights to Cuba begin? We Cubans have high expectations with the airline,because despite being so close and having so many things in common that unite us,we are paying an excessively abusive price for others. We look forward to it and I assure you that you will have a safe and grateful market. Thank you.
hi eddy, I'm sure they'll announce it soon.
