Colombia

Airline failures in Colombia “opened the window” for JetSMART to enter the country’s domestic market, according to CEO Estuardo Ortiz.

Tourist arrivals to Colombia are forecast to surge during the first half of the year amid an influx of new international routes.

As Routes Americas 2024 gets underway in Bogota, airlines operating in Colombia are providing the highest level of domestic capacity ever witnessed.

The Colombian airline market has gone through what IATA's Peter Cerda, regional vice president for the Americas, calls a “perfect storm” in recent years.

All the data relating to the region’s top airlines, airports, routes and markets during the first quarter of the year.

JetSmart will enter Colombia’s domestic market—the third largest in Latin America—on March 14.

As 2023 draws to a close, Colombia’s commercial aviation sector is marking one of the most eventful years in its history.

New routes from the likes of Avianca, Edelweiss and JetSmart are driving capacity growth in Colombia’s international market.

A second US destination is being added by LATAM Colombia alongside its existing flights to Miami.

The Mexican carrier's application for a new route to Bogota follows a record year for passenger traffic in Colombia.

The carrier is also kicking off two new routes to Brazil in March.

The airline group already operates carriers in three South American countries.

The airlines hope the proposed steps will allay Aerocivil’s competition concerns.

Aerocivil has found the combined entity would have a monopoly on 16 routes within Colombia.

The agreement between the airlines starts on Oct. 31.

The agreement allows the Canadian airline’s passengers more destination options in Colombia.

The carrier will begin international flights from Bucaramanga, Pereira and Santa Marta, as well as expanding its overseas network from Cartagena.

The move gives Avianca passengers access to seven Bolivian cites.

The carrier will increase service from JFK to Mexico but is cutting flights to Colombia.

The move follows Avianca’s April agreement to acquire Colombian ULCC Viva.

The consolidated business will have a network spanning almost 300 routes and be similar in size to LATAM Airlines Group.

A union between Colombia’s flag-carrier and its largest low-cost operator promises to bring a lower cost structure and a more joined up route network.

The Colombia-Argentina market looks set for the entrance of a third carrier.

The airline will become only the third carrier to offer nonstop service between Colombia and Brazil alongside Avianca and LATAM Airlines Group.

The ULCC is entering a market that is exceeding pre-pandemic capacity levels, boosted by the expansion of Viva Air.
