The Belfast International Airport direct route to Punta Cana International Airport will operate every Saturday from 20 June 2026 for four weeks.
Customers can enjoy 14-night holidays in resorts including La Romana, Bayahibe, San Pedro de Macoris, Punta Cana, Bavaro, Cap Cana, Miches and Uvero Alto.
Craig Morgan, Head of Ireland for TUI, said: “We are delighted to offer our customers in Northern Ireland the opportunity to experience the Dominican Republic with our new direct flights from Belfast next summer.
"This is the only direct flight available from Belfast to Dominican Republic and it will open up an exciting range of hotels and unique holiday experiences for Northern Ireland’s holidaymakers to enjoy in the breathtaking Dominican Republic.
“The Dominican Republic offers the perfect blend of idyllic beaches, luxury resorts, and rich cultural experiences, making it an ideal destination for honeymooners, families, and groups of friends alike. The full programme is available to book online, on your TUI app, in TUI stores, and through your local travel agent.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to give local holidaymakers access to a fantastic range of holiday destinations direct from Belfast. This new route to the Dominican Republic complements our existing long-haul flights from Belfast to Florida and Mexico, as well a fantastic choice of European destinations for Summer 2026 including the Canary Islands, Cyprus, Turkey, Spain, Portugal and Greece.”
