Quito International Airport connects the capital with Punta Cana through two airlines

Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport strengthens its network of international destinations by connecting, for the first time, the Ecuadorian capital with Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic. This new route, operated by the airlines Avianca and Arajet, offers travelers weekly frequencies that facilitate tourism and business in both destinations, significantly expanding connectivity options for those flying from Quito.

Avianca operates this route with an Airbus A320 aircraft with capacity for 198 passengers, while Arajet does so with a Boeing 737 Max 8 that has a capacity of 174 passengers. Both airlines began flights in October, offering two convenient schedules to travelers, with the following itineraries:

Ramón Miró, president and CEO of Corporación Quiport, underlined the importance of this new connection for the airport and its passengers: “We are very pleased to offer a greater variety of travel options and to strengthen Quito’s connectivity with key international destinations. The addition of Punta Cana as a destination from Quito International Airport reaffirms our commitment to providing excellent service and contributing to the development of tourism and business in our region.”
