Caribbean carrier Seaborne has signed an agreement to connect Air Europa’s daily flight from Madrid to Santo Domingo to Puerto Rico.

The two companies have signed a codeshare agreement to cover the Santo Domingo-San Juan route, creating a connection for flights from Madrid to San Juan.

The route will also offer access to Seaborne’s expanding network throughout the region.

Air Europa has been operating two direct flights between Madrid and San Juan since June of last year.

“This agreement represents a step forward in our mission to be the go-to airline in flying to and from Europe, America and the Caribbean,” said Air Europa President Juan Jose Hidalgo. “And I’m sure that with Seaborne we have found a great partner, due to their impeccable trajectory and incredible punctuality index of over 98 percent.”

Seaborne has a fleet of 8 Saab 340B planes for the route.

“Seaborne is honored to be selected by Air Europa to provide this service,” said Gary Foss, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seaborne. “It is a vote of confidence in our team of outstanding professionals that has brought service to 16 airports across the Caribbean.”

The codeshare agreement will take effect March 29.

“Efforts to continue positioning Puerto Rico as the main axis of Caribbean air access and increase flight options for our visitors continue to pay fruit,” said Ingrid Rivera Rocafort, Executive Director of the Tourism Company of Puerto Rico.
