SANTO DOMINGO – In a significant expansion of Caribbean aviation networks, Sky High Dominicana has unveiled plans to establish a new direct air corridor connecting Santo Domingo with Paramaribo, Suriname. Scheduled to commence operations on April 16, 2026, this pioneering route will link Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) with Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM), marking the first direct connection between these two nations.
The strategic initiative represents a calculated expansion of the airline’s regional footprint, designed to enhance mobility throughout the Caribbean and South American regions. Suriname, renowned for its pristine rainforests and multicultural heritage, stands to gain substantial economic benefits through accelerated tourism inflows and strengthened commercial partnerships with the Dominican Republic.
Beyond this commercial aviation development, Sky High Dominicana continues to diversify its aviation portfolio. The carrier reported robust growth across multiple business segments, including a 33% year-over-year increase in cargo operations through its subsidiary Sky High Aviation Services Corp., which transported over 8,000 tons of freight in 2025. Simultaneously, the airline is expanding its premium private charter services utilizing the long-range Gulfstream GV aircraft, capable of accommodating up to 17 passengers on intercontinental executive flights.
With fifteen years of operational experience and certifications from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the airline maintains an extensive network throughout the Americas. Company executives emphasized that the Suriname route alignment supports broader objectives of fostering economic development, tourism expansion, and enhanced regional integration for the Dominican Republic.
