Route expansion and strengthening of the European market
With this new scheme, Air Caraïbes maintains its operational commitment to three strategic points in the country: Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, and Samaná. As a regional airline of the French Caribbean, based in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, its presence is vital for the flow of visitors from Europe.
Additionally, the airline sector is strengthening its offering with the announcement from Air France, which, starting November 30, 2026, will establish three direct weekly frequencies between Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Punta Cana. This measure seeks to optimize access from one of the most relevant source markets for Dominican tourism.
