SANTO DOMINGO – Arajet, the flag carrier airline of the Dominican Republic, recorded the best monthly performance in its history in January by transporting more than 158,000 passengers to and from the country, according to official data published by the Civil Aviation Board (JAC).
According to the official information, the airline transported 158,688 point-to-point passengers during the month of January. This figure does not include connecting travelers through its destination network, meaning the actual total number of passengers carried exceeded 175,000 people, a milestone the company has reached for the first time since the start of its operations.
"2026 started exactly as we expected, with extraordinary numbers in January both in operations and sales. February is also projecting very positive results, so we remain optimistic about the performance of this first quarter of the year. We remain focused on turning the Dominican Republic into the new air hub of the continent," said Víctor Pacheco, founder and CEO of Arajet.
According to JAC data, Arajet ranked as the fourth airline with the highest passenger volume in January in the Dominican market, behind only JetBlue, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines. However, when including connecting passengers, the airline rises to third place, consolidating its position for the seventh consecutive month among the top three airlines in passenger transport in the country.
Arajet also reaffirmed its leadership among Dominican airlines. In January, the company transported 91.2% of passengers who flew with national airlines, also setting a historic record in market share.
In this segment, Sky High Aviation Services accounted for 4.4% of total passengers carried by Dominican airlines, Air Century 2.2%, and Red Air 1.8%.
These results consolidate Arajet's sustained growth and strengthen its regional expansion strategy, aimed at expanding its route network, increasing frequencies, and continuing to position the Dominican Republic as a key air connectivity hub in the region.
