There’s a new connection between the Dominican Republic and the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. 

Upstart airline Arajet is launching new service this week from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to Oranejstad, Aruba. 

“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 first flight will kick off on Friday, Sept. 16, 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.
