Demanding surging for these flights
Ultra low-cost Dominican Republic start-up airline, Arajet is adding more flights between that country and Jamaica.
The reason for the additional flights is surging demand being experienced on the route. Arajet first launched the route between the Dominican Republic’s capital of Santo Domingo and Kingston last November putting on two flights a week between Kingston and Santo Domingo.
A round trip ticket will cost as little as US$265 and the duration of the flight will be one hour and 10 minutes. One flight will be on a Monday, the other on a Friday. Now, the carrier will be ramping up service from two weekly flights to four.
FLIGHTS WILL SPUR INVESTMENT
Caribbean Journal reports that the next idea, officials say, would be to launch a tourist ferry between Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, although that project would likely be rather far off. Arajet continues to expand its regional network in the Caribbean.
The Dominican Republic’s Ambassador to Jamaica, Angie Martinez, who was instrumental in getting the Arajet direct flights between Santo Domingo and Kingston up and running in November said at the time that the new flights will spur greater investment, tourism links and commerce between the Dominican Republic and Jamaica but more importantly will bring its people closer together.
