New carrier Arajet, which bills itself as “the low-price airline of the Caribbean,” has announced that tickets for its new Toronto (YYZ) -- Santo Domingo (SDQ) route are available for purchase. The route will be inaugurated on October 24.

“Our new flight from Pearson International to Las Américas International in Santo Domingo will allow our Dominican diaspora to come home with the best possible fares but will also enable more Canadians travelling for tourism or business, to visit our island and continue increasing the exchange between our two countries,” says Víctor Pacheco Méndez, CEO and founder of Arajet.

“The Arajet effect will continue benefiting passengers across the Americas, and our Canadians friends won’t be the exception,” Méndez added.

The new route will offer four weekly frequencies on Tuesdays Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and will also connect Toronto with other destinations in South, Central America and the Caribbean that will be communicated soon.

Arajet says it is turning the Dominican Republic into the new low-price hub of the continent, offering direct flights from Santo Domingo to Mexico City, Cancun, San José, Guatemala, San Salvador, Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla, Quito, Guayaquil, Lima, Sao Paulo, Aruba, Curaçao, Saint Martin and Kingston 

Arajet’s fleet consists of five new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft that save 14% more fuel than single-aisle aircraft available in the regional market, and reduce average seat cost by 40%.

Flights on the new route Toronto (YYZ) – Santo Domingo (SDQ) are available here.
