Hire a private jet to or from Santo Domingo

A private jet charter to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, offers swift access to the Caribbean’s oldest capital. Some travellers come for golf at Casa de Campo or yachting from Cap Cana. Others wander the cobbled streets of the Colonial Zone, a UNESCO site where centuries-old churches stand beside lively cafés. Business visitors value Santo Domingo’s financial role and its position as a gateway to regional markets.

LunaJets arranges flights into Las Américas International Airport (SDQ), about 30 minutes by car from the city centre, or La Isabela International Airport (JBQ), a preferred hub for domestic and regional flights. From Las Américas, chauffeured transfers reach Casa de Campo in around 1 hour 30 minutes or Cap Cana in about an hour, while helicopter flights reduce both journeys to under half an hour.

With two decades of experience, LunaJets was the first European private jet broker to receive Argus® certification, assessed on site every two years. In Santo Domingo, this expertise ensures discreet villa arrivals, efficient connections to coastal resorts, and trusted access across the Caribbean during peak winter demand.

Aircraft selection and estimated flight times

Aircraft selection: Each route displays up to five of its most frequently used aircraft models, according to the available flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.

Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.

Flight activity: sources and methodology

Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.

Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Santo Domingo and another city counts once in Santo Domingo’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Santo Domingo during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.

Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.
