Aerolíneas Argentinas is set to increase its flight offerings to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, for the upcoming 2024/25 summer season. The airline will introduce new frequencies from Córdoba and Buenos Aires/Ezeiza and launch two new routes from Tucumán and Rosario.
This update comes shortly after Arajet announced it would replace its daily flight from Santo Domingo/Las Américas with a Punta Cana-Buenos Aires route starting October 28, 2024.
According to Aerolíneas Argentinas’ website, the number of weekly flights from Buenos Aires/Ezeiza will rise from four to five between November and December, further increasing to six per week (every day except Sundays) from January to March. These flights will be operated using Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which can accommodate 269 passengers.
Flights from Córdoba will resume on September 13, 2024, with two weekly flights initially, increasing to four weekly flights between January and March 2025. These flights will offer connections to other destinations within Argentina and will be operated with Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which have a capacity of 170 passengers.
Additionally, Aerolíneas Argentinas will offer a weekly flight from both Tucumán and Rosario between January and March 2025. These routes will also be serviced by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
In total, the airline will provide twelve weekly flights between Argentina and the Dominican Republic, offering a total capacity of 5,268 seats per week during the summer season.
Although the airline has started advertising these routes on its website, tickets are not yet available for purchase.
Aerolíneas Argentinas currently offers direct flights to Punta Cana. In the latter half of 2024, the airline transported 44,365 passengers to this popular Caribbean destination, achieving a 97% occupancy rate, according to ANAC Argentina, indicating strong demand for these flights.
