Arajet Announces Chicago O'Hare Route, Now Servicing Five Major U.S. Cities
'Flying to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, one of the most important airports in the world, represents an exciting new chapter for Arajet as we increase our presence to a total of five key U.S. cities. This expansion opens the skies to Punta Cana by connecting U.S. travelers directly to one of the most desirable vacation spots in the Caribbean,' said Victor Pacheco, CEO and founder of Arajet. 'Our continued growth enables greater connectivity for both tourists and the Dominican diaspora while supporting tourism and economic opportunity across the region.'
Establishing A Gateway in the Midwest
The launch of service from Chicago O'Hare marks Arajet's first route in the Midwest, a key step in broadening the airline's reach beyond the Northeast and Southeast corridors. The area's sizable Latin population and strong demand for Caribbean travel make Chicago an important new market for Arajet's U.S. growth. The new nonstop route gives Midwestern travelers direct access to Punta Cana's beaches, resorts, and onward connections, without the need for layovers or added costs. Flights will be three days per week, departing every Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.
With this new route, Arajet now offers direct service between the Dominican Republic and five major U.S. cities: Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York, and San Juan. The airline has grown rapidly since beginning U.S. ticket sales in February 2025. The addition of Chicago follows strong demand for the airline's recently launched Miami operations and Boston route, which have seen rapid ticket sales and multiple sold-out flights—a clear signal of growing appetite for affordable, direct access to warm-weather destinations.
A top Dominican destination known globally for its pristine beaches, luxury resorts, and year-round sunshine, Punta Cana also serves as a strategic link in Arajet's broader network to seamlessly connect travelers to Arajet's 13 onward destinations across the Caribbean and Latin America. Travelers from Chicago will benefit from Arajet's fuel-efficient fleet, low-cost fares, and nonstop service to the heart of the Caribbean.
"On behalf of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, I am proud to welcome Arajet's new service to Punta Cana at O'Hare International Airport," said CDA Acting Commissioner Tracey Payne. "This new route strengthens Chicago's global connections and offers travelers an escape to warm weather just ahead of the winter season. It also provides Chicagoans of Dominican descent with a convenient option to visit loved ones back home aboard their nation's flag carrier."

Profilyt Named to Canada's Top 100 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Startups by ALL IN; AI Startup Sends Long Forms to the Recycling Bin
MONCTON, New Brunswick--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Profilyt, a Moncton-based artificial intelligence startup, has been named one of Canada's Top 100 AI Startups by ALL IN — the country's annual must-attend AI event, where over 6,000 participants from more than 40 countries will gather at Montréal's Palais des congrès on September 24–25. Profilyt will be on hand to showcase how it is transforming the way organizations collect information — replacing endless intake forms with succinct chats. Its digital guide, Anna, turns 50- to 120-question forms into succinct chats that automatically generate scored, structured profiles — often surprising users with nuanced insights they never expected from a long form. 'Long forms are like waiting rooms with no end,' said Ismahil. 'We built Profilyt to end the long-form era. No one should lose an opportunity because an endless questionnaire scared them off.' Share The idea for Profilyt grew out of the lived frustrations of founder Ismahil Tchagbele and innovation officer Pierre D., who often sent onboarding forms with more than 100 questions to startups and simulation centres. 'Long forms are like waiting rooms with no end,' said Ismahil. 'We built Profilyt to end the long-form era. No one should lose an opportunity because an endless questionnaire scared them off.' Designed like a skilled interviewer, Profilyt asks only the questions that matter, requests files when needed, and knows when to stop. For optional questions, it can infer answers from context — creating profiles that capture nuance and human intent. Early users describe the results as 'shockingly smart' and 'amazingly human-like.' One beta user, who previously relied on a 120-question form, reported that Profilyt's conversational approach cut hours from their intake process: 'The profile it produced was so smart, it felt like the AI read between the lines.' Already adopted by incubators and accelerators to streamline startup qualification, Profilyt is also finding uses beyond entrepreneurship — one user even employs it to screen caregivers. Building on this momentum, the company will showcase its technology at ALL IN 2025 and connect with organizations that see the impact potential of a first interaction as a conversation, not an interrogation. Organizations that rely on lengthy forms are invited to explore the movement to retire long forms alongside other relics of the past, like the floppy disk, and replace the long form-filling process with a simple conversation. About Profilyt Profilyt is a Moncton-based AI startup replacing lengthy intake forms with smart, multilingual conversations. Its digital guide, Anna, asks only the most relevant questions, infers answers to optional ones, requests necessary documents, and generates a scored PDF profile — giving organizations a more human way to start relationships. Founded by Ismahil Tchagbele, Profilyt was recognized by ALL IN in 2025 as one of Canada's Top 100 AI Startups.
