Initially, the salvadoran capital will be connected directly to Santo Domingo with two weekly frequencies, wednesdays and saturdays, departing from Aeropuerto Internacional de El Salvador at 18:30 to Aeropuerto Internacional Las Américas arriving at 23:55 hours. However, in his speech this saturday, the President of Arajet, Victor Pacheco, gave the exclusive news that as of november 2, it will be expanded to four frequencies, on tuesdays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays.

"This has been a joint effort of several government institutions that are committed to accompanying domestic and foreign companies so that they can start their operations in the country without complications. We seek to fulfill the vision of President Nayib Bukele to generate opportunities and jobs for the salvadoran population, to contribute to the development of El Salvador", said the Presidential Commissioner for Strategic Projects of El Salvador, Cristian Flores.

"With the arrival of Arajet to El Salvador we seek to strengthen commercial, touristic and cultural ties as well as to promote economic development opportunities between the two nations. We want more salvadorans to come and visit the land of merengue and more dominicans to discover every corner of El Salvador, traveling non-stop and with really low prices! Traveling with us will be an experience of warm, human and world-class service", said Víctor Pacheco Méndez, President of Arajet.

Morena Valdez, minister of Tourism of El Salvador, said: “From the Government of President Nayib Bukele air connectivity is key to boost tourism, making it easier for travelers to move between countries and discover the wide range of tourism that Surf City El Salvador offers, from the permanent consistency of its waves for surfing, its imposing volcanoes, towns and cities with great historical value".

Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, has a population of more than 10 million inhabitants and is the leading destination in the region with the greatest tourist interest, given the diversity of activities that visitors can enjoy in this beautiful Caribbean city.
