Arajet Launches Boston–Santo Domingo Flights With Fares From $170
Arajet, the rapidly growing low-cost airline based in the Dominican Republic, has announced the launch of a new international route connecting Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) in Santo Domingo. Beginning November 20, 2025, the airline will operate four nonstop flights per week on this route, offering travelers in New England a direct and affordable gateway to the Dominican Republic and beyond. With introductory one-way fares starting at just $170, Arajet is aiming to make tropical getaways more accessible to a broader audience, while continuing its mission to link major U.S. cities with destinations across the Caribbean and Latin America.
The Boston–Santo Domingo route is the latest milestone in Arajet’s North American expansion strategy. This marks the airline’s second gateway in the northeastern United States, building on its existing operations out of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). With this move, Arajet is strategically tapping into one of the most important diasporas in the United States—the Dominican community in Boston—while simultaneously addressing growing demand from American travelers seeking affordable, warm-weather escapes during the winter months.
Serving a Growing Need in a Key U.S. Market
The Greater Boston area is home to a significant Dominican-American population, with tens of thousands of individuals maintaining strong familial, cultural, and economic ties to the Dominican Republic. Recognizing this, Arajet CEO and founder Victor Pacheco highlighted the importance of this new route in strengthening regional connectivity.
“The Boston area is home to one of the largest Dominican communities in the U.S. and serves as a key hub for education, business, and tourism,” said Pacheco. “With this addition, Arajet’s presence in major U.S. markets will capture strong demand for low-fare, high-quality service between North America and Latin America, reflecting our commitment to building a bridge between the regions and opening new travel opportunities for both leisure and business travelers.”
The four weekly flights—scheduled on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays—are ideally timed to support both weekend getaways and extended stays. Whether travelers are visiting family, heading to a beach resort, or exploring Santo Domingo’s colonial landmarks, Arajet is positioning itself as the go-to option for convenient and cost-effective travel.
Strategic Expansion Fueled by Growing Travel Demand
Arajet’s entrance into the Boston market comes at a time of renewed enthusiasm for international travel. As U.S. travelers continue to seek sun-soaked vacations, especially during colder months, demand for routes to the Caribbean and Latin America is surging. Arajet’s value proposition—offering low fares without compromising on quality or safety—gives it a competitive edge in this climate.
Arajet operates a fleet of new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, making it one of the most modern airlines in the Americas. In fact, the airline’s fleet is recognized as the youngest in North America by aviation data provider ch-aviation. These aircraft not only contribute to passenger comfort and safety but also support Arajet’s commitment to sustainability by reducing fuel consumption and lowering carbon emissions.
With the Boston route, Arajet continues its strategy of establishing a robust pan-regional network centered on Santo Domingo, effectively positioning the Dominican capital as a hub for intra-Americas connectivity. Travelers flying into SDQ will not only have the chance to experience the cultural vibrancy and scenic beauty of the Dominican Republic but will also be able to connect onward to more than 25 destinations across the region.
Connecting Boston to the Americas via Santo Domingo
For travelers originating in Boston, the new route unlocks a wealth of travel options. Upon arriving in Santo Domingo, passengers can connect seamlessly to a broad range of cities and countries served by Arajet, including:
- Aruba
- San José, Costa Rica
- Medellín and Bogotá, Colombia
- San Salvador, El Salvador
- Guatemala City, Guatemala
- Lima, Peru
- Kingston, Jamaica
- Cancún, Mexico
- And many others
This extensive network means that Arajet is not only serving point-to-point travelers but also emerging as a connector airline, offering an affordable and efficient alternative to legacy carriers for intra-regional travel.
A Closer Look at Santo Domingo: The Gateway to the Caribbean
Santo Domingo, the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas, is a city that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and modernity. From the cobblestone streets of the Colonial Zone—home to centuries-old cathedrals and Spanish-era architecture—to the vibrant culinary scene and beautiful beaches just outside the city, Santo Domingo is an increasingly popular destination for international tourists.
With the convenience of Arajet’s nonstop service from Boston, travelers can explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site or extend their journey to resort areas like Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, or Samaná. This route offers not just a flight, but an invitation to experience the heart of the Caribbean.
New Connections Beyond Boston: Arajet to Launch Buenos Aires Service
In addition to the Boston–Santo Domingo announcement, Arajet also revealed another significant network expansion. Starting December 12, 2025, the airline will begin operating nonstop service from Santo Domingo to Buenos Aires’ Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE). The new South American route will operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, further strengthening Arajet’s commitment to increasing intercontinental accessibility between the Caribbean and key Latin American capitals.
The addition of Buenos Aires represents a bold step in Arajet’s evolution from a regional player into a broader network airline. With this launch, travelers in Argentina gain direct access to the Caribbean and its neighboring countries, while passengers in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic benefit from easier travel to South America—without the need for connecting through U.S.-based legacy hubs.
Positioning for the Future: Arajet’s Long-Term Vision
Since its inception, Arajet has maintained a clear mission: to democratize air travel across Latin America and the Caribbean by offering safe, efficient, and affordable service. The airline’s growth trajectory, supported by a fleet expansion and increasing international partnerships, reflects strong market confidence and an appetite for alternatives to traditional carriers.
By choosing to enter competitive but underserved markets—such as Boston, with its large Dominican population—Arajet is not only addressing latent demand but also setting itself apart as an airline that listens to the needs of travelers. Its low-cost model, combined with operational excellence, positions it as a rising challenger brand in the region’s aviation landscape.
As the airline continues to grow, travelers can expect additional route announcements, new destinations, and ongoing investments in customer experience and digital services. With an expanding footprint, Arajet is poised to become a leading player in shaping the future of affordable transcontinental travel in the Americas.
