Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

Beginning June 1, the low-fare airline continues its expansion in the D.R., adding a second daily nonstop flight between the two cities.

he capital city of Santo Domingo is JetBlue’s ninth Caribbean/Atlantic destination and its second city served in the D.R., including Santiago. To celebrate its launch of service to the tropical island, the airline is offering a special $115(a) introductory sale fare each way between Santo Domingo and New York/JFK. Regular one-way fares between the two cities will start at $150(a).

“Santo Domingo is a popular destination full of history, beauty and charm, and we are excited to bring the level of service, value and style that customers have come to expect of the JetBlue Experience back to the island’s capital city,” said Dave Barger, CEO of JetBlue Airways. “With the most legroom in coach, free in-flight movies on personal seatback TVs and complimentary snack selections, our customers look forward to their JetBlue flight as much as the destination.”

“We are very excited about the return of JetBlue to Santo Domingo,” said Ken Hassard, Commercial Director for Aerodom. “JFK – SDQ is one of the most frequently traveled routes connecting the United States and the Dominican Republic, so JetBlue’s two new daily frequencies will provide travelers in both markets with more choices at a lower price. Given their pricing and reputation for excellent service, we can expect the number of passengers flying this route to increase significantly as a direct result of JetBlue’s presence.”
