The Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) is pleased to welcome a new airline as a full member: Sky High Dominicana.
Sky High Aviation Services Dominicana, S.A. is a passenger carrier based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic operating scheduled flights to Aruba (2 weekly flights), Bonaire (1 weekly flight), Curaçao (2 weekly flights), Anguilla (1 weekly flight), Antigua (1 weekly flight), St. Maarten (4 weekly flights), St. Kitts (1 weekly flight), Martinique (2 weekly flights), Guadeloupe (2 weekly flights) and Tortola (2 weekly flights).
Founded in March 2011, the carrier began operating air tours within the Dominican Republic and, over the years has expanded its range of operations, becoming the first Dominican carrier to offer scheduled flights to the entire Caribbean.
Today Sky High has a fleet composed exclusively of jets (50-seat Embraer-145LR) and is in the process of acquiring two 97-seat Embraer-190, which will allow it to continue strengthening its scheduled and charter operations.
Sky High carried over 80 thousand passengers in 2021, with projections to exceed this record in the current year 2022. The carrier will soon start operations from Santo Domingo to Venezuela (Caracas, Valencia, Maracaibo, Margarita) and to Miami.
“We are really pleased to welcome the entire Sky High team to ALTA and to reinforce the work we have been developing in the Caribbean, a region where aviation and tourism play a key role in the socio-economic wellbeing of the population. Sky High has a huge potential and is taking important steps with growth prospects. I am convinced that its participation in ALTA will be of great value to further develop connectivity and bring more people the opportunity to make use of air transport,” commented José Ricardo Botelho, ALTA’s CEO.
“For us (Sky High), safety and quality are the top priority. Being part of ALTA is a big step. Fundamental to enrich our experience and to stay at the forefront by sharing with other members in the different conferences and forums. Definitely a great opportunity”, commented Juan Chamizo, CEO Sky High.
