VINCI Airports celebrates new direct route between Santiago and Santo Domingo
The first Arajet flight coming from Las Americas International airport in Dominican Republic landed at Santiago airport in Chile on Monday, October 30th.
This new direct connection between two airports from VINCI Airport’s network will offer three weekly direct flights between the two capital cities.
In order to celebrate this milestone, representatives of Santiago Airport, Aerodom, Arajet, the ambassador of the Dominican Republic in Chile, Fausto Liz, and part of the Caribbean country's Olympic team -who participated in the 2023 Pan American Games Santiago- gave a warm welcome to 104 passengers and participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony.
This new route opens a new option to get to a destination that is loved by Chileans as the Dominican Republic. It also builds a bridge that will strengthen tourism, academic, cultural and commercial links between South America and Oceania with the Caribbean, through two airports that belong to the VINCI Airports network.
In addition to this new service:
- In Chile, Santiago Airport incorporated two more routes to its current offer: LATAM Airlines opened its Santiago-Belo Horizonte connection, offering a seventh direct route to Brazil from Chile. Besides, Aeromexico re-started its direct route from Santiago to Mexico City, with five weekly frequencies, which will increase to six as of December.
- In Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo airport celebrated last week the inaugural direct route to Paris operated by Air Caraibes.
