Upstart airline, Arajet will see the first flight of its newly launched connection between the Dominican Republic and the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba tomorrow (September 16).

The new service, which had earlier been expected to see its first flight today, will start from Dom Rep capital of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to Oranejstad, Aruba.

In a statement announcing the new connection, Arajet said: “Without a doubt, Aruba is for AraJet a destination with increased interest due to the demand of travelers to and from the Dominican Republic. We want to provide Arubans with an affordable travel alternative that meets their travel expectations at the lowest cost, with world-class services, and with new and more efficient aircrafts on the market.”

The service forms part of a broader regional push for the carrier. Arajet is operating the service on Boeing 737 Max-8 aircraft with capacity for 185 passengers.

The flights will run twice per week with flights on Mondays and Fridays.
