Arajet secures second place for ch-aviation’s North America’s youngest aircraft fleet award 2024

Arajet, the low-price airline of the Caribbean, which recently was awarded Best Startup Airline of the world at the World Aviation Summit, today announced that it won two new international awards for the modernity of its aircraft fleet. ch-aviation, the world’s leading airline intelligence provider, recognized Arajet as the airline with the second youngest aircraft fleet in the Americas and as the third youngest fleet worldwide.


According to ch-aviation, only Lynx Air, with an average of 2.81 years old, has a younger aircraft fleet in the Americas than Arajet, which has a fleet with an average of 2.93 years old. The World’s Youngest Aircraft Fleet of the World ranking was led by Starlux Airlines followed by Lynx Air, Arajet, Vistara and JetSmart.

Victor Pacheco, CEO and Founder of Arajet, affirmed that this new recognition is a testament to the airline’s commitment to have a modern and efficient aircraft fleet with a great partner in The Boeing Company.


"Our fleet, besides being among the most modern in the world, is also the most efficient and environmentally friendly fleet, thanks to the technology used by the Boeing 737 Max 8, that consumes less fuel and produces less sonic pollution than other aircraft of its style,” said Mr. Pacheco.

Arajet closed 2023 with a fleet consisting of 8 Boeing 737 Max 8 airplanes. In 2024, Arajet will continue adding new aircraft to its fleet to further expand its network, which currently connects 23 destinations in 16 countries throughout the Americas.
