Arajet becomes top international carrier at Mexico City’s Felipe Ángeles International Airport

• Since launching its route from Santo Domingo International (SDQ), Arajet has led all the carriers operating non-domestic routes.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arajet, the low-price airline of the Dominican Republic, has become Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) largest international airline by passengers carried since launching operations in September 2022. From the beginning of Arajet’s operations in Mexico in September 2022, Arajet transported 14,944 passengers, leading international passenger traffic and making the Dominican Republic the airport’s top international destination.

"We are happy to have Arajet among the international airlines that operate at AIFA. Its direct route to Santo Domingo strengthens cooperation and exchange ties between Mexico and the Dominican Republic," said Isidoro Pastor, general director of Felipe Ángeles International Airport.
