Wingo is bringing back direct flights to Venezuela, reopening air links between Bogotá, Medellín and Caracas as the country’s aviation network gradually returns to normal.
The Colombian low-cost airline will restart its Bogotá-Caracas route on September 7, with one flight every day from Monday through Sunday. Service between Medellín’s José María Córdova International Airport and Caracas will resume on September 11, initially operating three times a week.
The flights will use Boeing 737-800 aircraft, restoring passenger capacity between major urban and industrial centers in Colombia and Venezuela. The reopening gives travelers another option as commercial connections between the two countries expand.
Wingo already operates a direct Bogotá-Valencia service. With the two returning routes, the airline will offer three direct connections and a total of 13 weekly frequencies. The move comes as Venezuela gradually reopens its airspace and follows the resumption of operations announced by other international airlines in the region.
