Alajet, the national airline of the Dominican Republic, marks an important milestone by launching the first-ever direct flight from Cordoba to Punta Cana, increasing its presence at Ingeniero Ambrosio Talavera International Airport and connecting Argentina’s interior to one of the Caribbean’s premier tourist destinations. The launch, which began today, introduces five weekly flights, offering travelers a seamless, direct and comfortable route to experience the Dominican Republic’s famous beaches, resorts and cultural attractions.
The introduction of this new service comes at a time of significant growth in Argentine tourism to the Dominican Republic. Statistics for the first half of 2025 show a staggering 89.5% increase in Argentine arrivals compared to the same period in 2024, making Argentina the third largest outbound market for the Caribbean. Some 450,000 Argentine tourists are expected to visit the Dominican Republic by the end of the year, according to forecasts, highlighting strong demand for direct flights from major cities outside Buenos Aires.
By choosing Córdoba as its second destination in Argentina, Alajet is expanding its Southern Cone operations and demonstrating a strategic commitment to cater to the growing interest of travelers from Argentina’s interior. The company’s presence in Cordoba complements its established services in Buenos Aires and significantly expands travel options for Argentine passengers. Beyond Punta Cana, passengers departing from Cordoba now have seamless access to Alajet’s extensive network throughout the Dominican Republic and regional destinations across North, Central and South America.
Local tourism authorities and travel industry representatives have welcomed Alajet’s expansion, highlighting its potential to boost regional economic activity and increase connectivity for both leisure and business travelers. The new route not only facilitates direct access to the Caribbean, but also strengthens Cordoba’s position as an important gateway for international tourism.
For Alajet, the Córdoba-Punta Cana route is not just a new flight route, but a concrete reflection of the airline’s commitment to the Argentine market and its broader vision to connect Latin America’s major cities with high-demand tourist destinations. By providing direct, reliable and efficient service, Arajet aims to reach the growing number of Argentine travelers seeking quality Caribbean experiences without the inconvenience of connecting flights.
This expansion will strengthen Arajet’s role as a leading company that strengthens regional connectivity, promotes tourism and meets the evolving demands of international travelers. The Cordoba-Punta Cana flight opens up a world of opportunities for Argentine passengers to explore the Dominican Republic and beyond, positioning Alajet as a bridge between Argentina’s interior and the wider Americas.
“The response from the Córdoba market has exceeded our expectations from day one. The demand is extraordinary and confirms the huge potential of this connection. Our goal is to continue to grow until we reach seven frequencies per week,” said Jose Cabrera, Vice President of Communications at Alajet.
As the airline continues to grow, passengers from Cordoba will now have unprecedented access to one of the Caribbean’s most vibrant destinations, reflecting Alajet’s continued strategy to expand its network, strengthen its presence in the Southern Cone, and provide convenient travel solutions tailored to the needs of modern travelers.
The launch of a direct flight from Cordoba to Punta Cana by Alajet Airlines is a major step in strengthening Argentina’s connections with the Caribbean. By offering convenient direct flights, the airline not only meets the growing demands of travelers in Argentina’s interior, but also opens up new opportunities for tourism, regional travel and cultural exchange. This expansion strengthens Alajet’s commitment to the Argentine market and strategic vision to connect major cities in the Americas, making Caribbean destinations more accessible than ever for Argentine travelers.
