Published on December 3, 2025

Arajet, the national airline of the Dominican Republic, has marked a significant milestone by inaugurating its first-ever direct flight from Córdoba to Punta Cana, cementing its presence at Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella International Airport and connecting Argentina’s interior to one of the Caribbean’s premier tourist destinations. The launch, which commenced today, introduces five weekly flights, providing travelers with a seamless, direct, and comfortable route to experience the Dominican Republic’s renowned beaches, resorts, and cultural attractions.

The introduction of this new service comes at a time of remarkable growth in Argentine tourism to the Dominican Republic. Statistics from the first half of 2025 reveal an impressive 89.5% increase in Argentine arrivals compared to the same period in 2024, making Argentina the third-largest source market for the Caribbean nation. Forecasts suggest that nearly 450,000 Argentine visitors will travel to the Dominican Republic by the end of the year, underlining the robust demand for direct air connections from key cities beyond Buenos Aires.

By choosing Córdoba as its second destination in Argentina, Arajet demonstrates a strategic commitment to expanding its Southern Cone operations and catering to the growing interest of travelers from Argentina’s interior. The airline’s presence in Córdoba complements its established services in Buenos Aires, significantly broadening travel options for Argentine passengers. Beyond Punta Cana, passengers departing from Córdoba can now seamlessly access Arajet’s wider network across the Dominican Republic, as well as regional destinations spanning North, Central, and South America.

Local tourism authorities and travel industry representatives have welcomed Arajet’s expansion, highlighting its potential to boost regional economic activity and enhance connectivity for both leisure and business travelers. The new route not only facilitates direct access to the Caribbean but also strengthens Córdoba’s position as a vital gateway for international tourism.

For Arajet, the Córdoba-Punta Cana route represents more than just a new flight path—it is a tangible reflection of the airline’s commitment to the Argentine market and its broader vision of connecting key Latin American cities with high-demand tourist destinations. By providing direct, reliable, and efficient services, Arajet aims to attract a growing segment of Argentine travelers seeking quality Caribbean experiences without the inconvenience of connecting flights.

With this expansion, Arajet reinforces its role as a key player in enhancing regional connectivity, promoting tourism, and meeting the evolving demands of international travelers. The Córdoba-Punta Cana service opens a world of opportunities for Argentine passengers to explore the Dominican Republic and beyond, positioning Arajet as a bridge between Argentina’s interior and the wider Americas.

“The response from the Córdoba market has exceeded our expectations from day one. Demand has been extraordinary and confirms the enormous potential of this connection. Our goal is to continue growing until we reach seven weekly frequencies,” said José Cabrera, Vice President of Communications at Arajet.

As the airline continues to grow, passengers from Córdoba now have unprecedented access to one of the Caribbean’s most vibrant destinations, reflecting Arajet’s ongoing strategy to expand its network, strengthen its Southern Cone presence, and deliver convenient travel solutions tailored to the needs of modern travelers.

The launch of Arajet’s direct flights from Córdoba to Punta Cana marks a major step in strengthening connectivity between Argentina and the Caribbean. By offering a convenient, direct route, the airline not only meets growing demand from travelers in Argentina’s interior but also opens new opportunities for tourism, regional travel, and cultural exchange. This expansion reinforces Arajet’s commitment to the Argentine market and its strategic vision of connecting key cities across the Americas, making Caribbean destinations more accessible than ever for Argentine travelers.
