Dominican Republic low-cost airline Arajet has become the newest member airline of the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA).
José Ricardo Botelho, Executive Director and CEO of ALTA, said: “We are delighted to welcome Arajet to ALTA. Their focus on democratizing air travel, coupled with their commitment to sustainability, are an example of what this industry can offer to Latin America and the Caribbean, a region that has no other equally efficient and safe means of transportation, a region that benefits greatly in the creation of jobs and opportunities for millions of people every time a plane lands in a location.
