Santa Marta

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

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

The ULCC is launching 14 new domestic routes from next March as it seeks to take further market share from Avianca and LATAM Airlines Group.

The country’s aviation authority is considering route proposals from Volaris and Viva Aerobus among others.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created the ideal conditions for the launch of a new ULCC in Colombia, according to the founder of start-up Ultra Air.

ProColombia, the new name of the tourism and promotions organisation that was ProExport Colombia, is experiencing a rise in new international flights to the country as it takes the top spot for economic growth in the region.
