Arajet to link Montevideo and Punta Cana from March 2027, the first direct Uruguay–Dominican Republic route

The Dominican airline Arajet will start flying between Montevideo's Carrasco airport and Punta Cana on 3 March 2027, the Uruguayan airport announced on 9 November. It will be Arajet's first operation at Carrasco and, according to the airport, the first direct air link between Uruguay and the Dominican Republic.

The route will be served three times a week, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The airport says passengers from Uruguay will also gain access to Arajet's network of 29 destinations, among them Cancún, Miami and Orlando, and that details of a launch promotion are available on the airline's website and social media channels.

Carrasco presents the agreement as part of its goal of widening Uruguay's air connections and giving travellers more options.

The announcement does not give flight times, flight numbers or fares, and it does not say how onward connections to the rest of Arajet's network will work. Travellers interested in the route should check schedules, conditions and connection options directly with the airline before booking.
