She pointed out that each of its aircraft is named after a protected area or national ecological reserve.\n\n \u201cProtecting and conserving the environment has been in our DNA from the beginning. Our third aircraft is named \u2018Indigenous Eyes\u2019 and we are happy to reforest in this area,\u201d said Lajara.\n\nArajet indicated that the volunteer group made up of its employees, previously received an induction from Marine Environmental Education \u2013 Coastal of the Ecological Foundation of the Puntacana group, who explained the importance of mangroves for the care and preservation of the environment.\n\nThe airline has launched reforestation days in various areas of the country, with the planting of emblematic trees that directly contribute to the conservation of protected areas. These initiatives not only reinforce Arajet’s environmental responsibility, but also seek to positively impact the communities and ecosystems where it operates.\n\nAs part of its strategy to raise awareness of the country’s natural wealth, each of Arajet’s aircraft is named after a Dominican protected area. These include: Pico Duarte, Isla Saona, Los Tres Ojos, Jaragua, Ojos Ind\u00edgenas, Bah\u00eda de las \u00c1guilas, Los Haitises, Valle Nuevo, Lago Enriquillo and Laguna Redonda.

It occupies about 600 hectares of subtropical transition forest, combining humid and dry habitats. It is managed by the Grupo Puntacana Foundation, with conservation, environmental education, and sustainable tourism objectives. In the reserve, there are more than 500 plant species, of which around 36% are endemic to the Dominican Republic.\n\nIn July 2022, Arajet received its second Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, named “Indigenous Eyes”, in homage to the protected area of the same name located in Punta Cana. This act marked a milestone in the airline’s history and its link with the environment.\n\nWith these actions, Arajet consolidates its vision of being a sustainable, efficient airline committed to promoting the natural treasures of the Dominican Republic to the world.\n\n\n
