The milestone follows consecutive periods of strong passenger metrics: the airline flew 1,480,278 travelers in 2025 (a 37% year-over-year increase) and accelerated through the first half of 2026 with 1,022,593 passengers—up 63.7% from the 624,706 logged during the same period in 2025. Víctor Pacheco Méndez, CEO and Founder of Arajet, noted that serving five million passengers demonstrates broad consumer adoption of the airline’s ultra-low-fare value proposition while driving tourism receipts and bilateral trade. To mark the achievement, Arajet surprised its five-millionth customer on a scheduled flight to New York, partnering with local creator Semipopi to award complimentary travel across its network.
