Air Santo Domingo (legally Aerolíneas Santo Domingo, S.A.) was the flag carrier airline based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It operated scheduled domestic services and flights to Haiti and Puerto Rico. It wet-leased additional aircraft from Servicios Aéreos Profesionales, which it used for ad hoc, on demand charter services to the United States. Founded in 1996, it operated scheduled domestic services within the Dominican Republic as well as regional flights to neighboring Caribbean destinations. Its main base was La Isabela International Airport in Santo Domingo. The airline primarily used small aircraft such as the BAe Jetstream 32 and later operated a Boeing 727 under wet lease agreements. Air Santo Domingo ceased operations in the mid-2000s.
