The tenth Boeing Arajet's 737 MAX arrived last Tuesday in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to strengthen the airline's fleet expansion, which continues to grow with the addition of fuel-efficient aircraft. This delivery of the 737-8 through a leasing company s Arajet's growth strategy in the Americas, as the airline plans to more than double its routes in the coming years.
“This tenth aircraft is unique, not only because it has a special Dominican stripe painted on the fuselage, but also because it will increase the number of connections we make on the continent. We are reaffirming our commitment to democratizing the skies and being able to connect all of our countries at the lowest possible prices,” said Victor Pacheco Méndez, CEO and founder of Arajet.
Since launching in 2022, Arajet has expanded its dedicated 737 MAX fleet to serve 23 destinations in 16 countries, including Canada, Mexico and Argentina. Arajet's performance earned it recognition as Startup Airline of the Year at the 2023 World Aviation Summit.
With 737-8 jets capable of flying up to 3.500 nautical miles, the airline operates some of the longest routes in the region, efficiently connecting the Caribbean with North and South America.
Powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines and advanced technology winglets, the 737 MAX reduces fuel consumption and emissions by 20% compared to the aircraft it replaces. It can fly further than previous generation aircraft and has a 50% smaller noise footprint.
Boeing's Commercial Market Outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean for the next 20 years predicts that more than 90% of the region's aircraft demand will be for single-aisle jets to serve popular routes, including those to North America. .
