Arajet : The 3 Month Old Airline With 18 International Destinations! Airport & Flight Review

On Monday, December 5th and 6th, Simple Flying had the opportunity to travel internationally on a relatively new startup airline. Departing from Mexico City’s new Felipe Ángeles International Airport, we were onboard Arajet’s flight to Santo Domingo Las Américas International in the Dominican Republic.
In today’s video, we look at the experience of going through this relatively new Mexican airport, as well as what it’s like to fly with a brand-new start-up airline - less than three months old! So if you’re ready - let’s get started!

[@iquecanseco8876]

So happy in 8 days I'll be flying with them from Mexico to Santo Domingo.

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

Have a safe flight Compa. Enjoy. Y arriba Nayarit. 😁

The Dominican carrier Arajet has requested US Department of Transportation (DOT) authorization to begin operating scheduled commercial passenger services to three destinations, San Juan (SJU), Miami (MIA), and New York John F. Kennedy (JFK) or New York Stewart International Airport (SWF). If approved, this would be Arajet’s entrance to the largest market in the Americas; the airline already operates routes to 17 destinations in 11 countries across South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

[@karlossargeant3872]

I Believe Arajet Airlines of Dominican Republic will become a successful Airline also The USA Can be Challenging for them however they can look into Markets that is served in various U.S. Cites there first then they can make there move afterwards New York and Miami is the Key Destinations the Airline can fly too even Boston,Philadelphia,Orlando,Fort Lauderdale and many Others too can join as well they can even Partner up with US Carriers there Like JetBlue Airways and American Airlines which also Dominate both Latin Americas from both States then there is Canada with Westjet Airlines & Air Canada that they can partner as well a Codeshare Agreement from Arajet Airlines can be helpful for there Operations but we'll wait to see what happens next Awesome Video!!!!

[@stez-nq4hs]

Once they start flying in the U.S where there large Dominican communities in NYC, MIA, BOS, PHI and few other cities, that's where there really going to make money as we are tired of the abuses from the U.S. carriers as flight to the Dominican Republic from the U.S are high profitable routes.

[@nntflow7058]

Direct flights would always be more expensive compared to connecting flights. There are tons of cheap connecting flights from the US to Dominican Republics all year long.

[@edwincabrerarodriguez5263]

@Nathy Harris We don't just talk about the prices but the overall services to the costumers too. A lot of injustices some times...

[@nntflow7058]

@@edwincabrerarodriguez5263 It's no different than any other routes to Europe too. It's not that they are discriminatingly people from the Dominican Republic. It's just that they have shitty service. Don't confuse the 2.

[@edwincabrerarodriguez5263]

@Nathy Harris You're right about the bad service on board they offer but this is not true that you gonna find this bad service in other carriers offering a different service as a long haul flight. Everything is different. Anyways there are several videos of people suffering the consequences of them errors and some of them talking bad to the passengers.

The youngest carrier in my history was Australia's Compass Airlines. I flew their A300 service from Cairns QLD to Melbourne VIC during my first visit down under. The carrier was less than 8 months old, and unfortunately for the very enthusiastic crew (especially since the flight operated overnight) it didn't get much older. Good luck to Arajet!

[@dldl305]

According to some news: They are working to fly to (2023): 🇺🇸 USA 🇧🇷 Brazil 🇨🇦 Canada 🇭🇳 Honduras 🇧🇿 Belize 🇹🇹 T&T

[@pinklion26]

I’m flying them in December from Montreal to Mexico City. I hope it’s a good experience

[@4funlimited]

We flew from SDQ to CUN in early January. I was impressed. Better legroom than US mainline carrier economy seats. The rest is low fare, but the service was very good. They are new, so I hope some of the issues we had in on-time departures. Perhaps these will improve as they mature. I did not see any urgency to minimize the delay or try to reduce it. First flight on a MAX, was a little nervous, but all went well and the flight operations seemed smooth. I would fly on them again. And yes the logo and color scheme is great. New planes so no real comment there, of course they were nice.

Unfortunately, the DR has had a long history of failed Airlines. Let us hope that this is different. Lord knows the potential is there!

[@PLATANITO829]

Unlike our previous disasters this is probably one of the few airlines in the world that consist of only nearly brand new aircrafts. For once the odds are not stacked against us. Arajet has 40 orders of 737-max8 and 20+ to be filled this year.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Very nice video. Very nice review. The money exchange and lack of public transit to the airport is a serious problem they have to solve.

[@HectorSuarez-fs1mc]

Not understand about the money exchange and public transportation, this airline operation is limited to transport air passengers, however, money exchange in Santo Domingo is a smooth transaction.

[@Ch-hg1iu]

They just order 20 737 max from boeing im happy for them they are growing fast

[@thomassharp2719]

The colors look like Australian Bonza Airlines.

[@katanayuke]

Those MAXs are great

[@Petriefied0246]

The newest airline I've ever flown on was Duo many years ago. I won the tickets on their new route to Oslo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sadly, the airline was shot down by it's creditors and was dissolved despite being profitable!

[@gabrielinfantecarrillo4769]

You should have mentioned that at the time you made this video, the airport was recently open and that is why there were a few flights. Secondly the airport will have train connections to Mexico City center that that will shorten the time to 35 minutes. Thirdly, the airport is not small at all, it has a military air base a huge military base, three museums, a civil and a military hotel and in a future the terminal is expected to be expanded. In the counter position of the current terminal building.

[@vihaannahar2558]

Nice video , really explanatory

Not sure how old Batik Air is, but may be my youngest airline to fly in. Either them, or Viva Air Colombia

[@ying20000818]

I see easyjet worldwide is starting to spread eh? Easyjet somewhat allows connecting flights (albeit their schedules really aren't lined up for it) however, they do codeshare with the likes of virgin Atlantic, Cathay Pacific and Emirates so there's that I guess?

[@loveisnotanemotionloveisli6512]

Yep… well the European Union legal frame work favours this type of business model way faster than in the Americas… but also the DR has potential because it is a growing economy with potential for the industry

Well, in 2 years Arajet started cancelling their flight and refunding only taxes. Great business, pretend you will flight, don’t do it, and get 2/3 from the purchase price as income. Not sure if it’s legal, but it’s what Arajet does

[@hewhohasnoidentity4377]

Why would a currency exchange business need a storefront with staff. Can't most of that business be handled with kiosks?

[@nntflow7058]

Where did you store millions of dollars worth of paper money in a single kiosk? Also, currency exchange at airports are always crowded 24/7. They need multiple counters to do multiple transactions at once.

Do they only have one lav in the aft?

Currency Exchange? I havent Exchanged currency for years - funny complaint, really an issue? I was even wondering last time I was departing CPH that any would use ridiculously expensive airport exchange services??

[@loveisnotanemotionloveisli6512]

Well in the EU is not a big issue… with the single currency is most of the countries and for the rest of EU countries that don’t use EUR they pay by card usually with no fees… but in the americas is different
