Two new airlines based in the Caribbean are set to launch direct flights from the U.S. Arajet and Coral Jet, which will be based in the Dominican Republic and Bermuda respectively, each have their eyes set on the competitive Caribbean market, and each can see their inaugural flights take off. Within months – although there is still plenty of work to be done behind the scenes in the meantime.
An incredibly popular region for vacationers from North America, cruise ship itineraries and travelers from around the world, the Caribbean recently saw several of its countries campaign to remove many of the strictest Covid-19-related restrictions — meaning new airlines can take off At a time when the demand for travel to the region is rising again. Here’s a look at everything we know about the two airlines that are set to transform the travel sector in the Caribbean.
Arajet Coming Soon – Information for Travelers
The Dominican Republic has always been a popular destination for American travelers, with more and more flight routes being added to various destinations in the country in recent months. Very soon, however, American travelers are set to be spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding how to travel to the country, with the Dominican Republic’s airline Arajet set to be launched in just a few months.
Arajet considers itself the first ultra-low-cost airline in the Caribbean, with Arajet’s website promising travelers the best fares on direct flights to the country, and services scheduled to launch in May. Arajet clearly means business, as it recently placed an order for 20 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft just last week, and claims they will fly 43 routes – including 24 routes not currently served by other airlines.
According to reports, the airline will focus on serving Caribbean islands as well as North American markets that have significant family ties to the Dominican Republic, with New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago as potential destinations. Inter-Caribbean flights are set to launch first, with flights to and from the US not expected to begin until later in the year.
Speaking about the airline’s impending launch, founder and CEO Victor Pacheco said:
“The Dominican Republic and the greater Caribbean region lack low-cost air services and passengers deserve a more affordable way to travel in our market. We believe Arajet is well positioned to transform Santo Domingo Airport into a modern, new hub for connected destinations and traffic. We are pleased that our passengers are winners by Pay the lowest fares while flying on brand new planes.”
Coral Gate is coming soon – what travelers should know
More delayed than Arajet but equally exciting is the new airline Coral Gate from Bermuda. The airline recently applied for its aircraft operating certification, and while it is silent about its potential destinations for now, a job advertisement for pilots recently revealed that they will “work in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean,” indicating that it is set to grow. Caribbean contacts in North America more.
Aiming to launch later this year, more information about the inaugural flights, routes offered and prices will be revealed once the airline obtains its aircraft operating certification. However, what we do know is that the airline will use aircraft of the A320 family and will operate from LF Wade International Airport.
