Modification of regular international operating permit for airline. Estudio Olaechea assisted airline player Arajet in including Punta Cana as an additional destination to the one already granted in their Regular International Operating Permit (RIOP) (Santo Domingo) with up to seven weekly frequencies.
Legal review and advisory on RIOP modification: For this purpose, our firm reviewed the international treaty between the Republic of Peru and the Dominican Republic and advised Arajet on the necessary formal documentation requested by the aeronautical authority for granting the RIOP modification.
Expedited regulatory support for new route approval: As the client needed to start operations in a very short period, we suggested filing also for an International Flight Permit (IFP) to obtain authorisation for operating the new route. Our team reviewed all the technical documentation, such as aircraft certificates, OPSPECS, pilot licenses and medical certificates, and prepared the complementary documentation required by Peruvian regulations.
Facilitating flight slot approvals: Our firm also assisted the client in obtaining additional slots for flights on the Punta Cana-Lima route, under permanent coordination with the Peruvian Aeronautical Authority (DGAC), the airport operator Lima Airport Partners (LAP) and the air traffic controller (CORPAC), as well as Dominican Republic authorities.
Affordable airline connecting Dominican Republic to Americas: Arajet is an airline from Dominican Republic that sells affordable flight tickets. It offers the only direct service between Santo Domingo and several cities in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.
Arajet’s expansion strengthening regional connectivity through Lima: This case is important to Arajet, as it aimed to expand its connection network, making it possible to travel from Lima to Santo Domingo or Punta Cana in its project to be a hub for the region.
Latest development: We successfully advised the client on this matter.
