In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s devastating impact on Jamaica, the Dominican Government has partnered with Arajet Airlines to organize complimentary humanitarian flights aimed at repatriating Dominican citizens stranded by the storm. The initiative underscores a swift and coordinated response to the crisis, prioritizing the safety and well-being of affected individuals. The first flight is set to depart from Kingston on Saturday, November 1, at 11:00 a.m., arriving in Santo Domingo by 1:30 p.m. A second flight is scheduled for Tuesday, ensuring continued support for those in need. Additionally, passengers with existing travel plans to or from Jamaica are permitted to reschedule their trips within a 15-day window without incurring extra charges. To facilitate a smooth and transparent process, the Dominican Embassy in Jamaica will meticulously review each repatriation request. Emergency contact lines have been activated by the Embassy and its Consular Section to provide immediate assistance. Both the Dominican Government and Arajet have reaffirmed their dedication to safeguarding Dominicans abroad, highlighting their collaborative efforts to deliver urgent aid to hurricane victims.
