Wingo to launch direct flights between Colombia and Margarita Island from June 27

The airline Wingo is set to launch direct flights connecting Colombia and Venezuela's Margarita Island, beginning June 27. Antonio De Abreu, president of the Nueva Esparta Tourism Chamber, announced that the initial phase of this air service will include routes from Bogotá and Medellín to Porlamar. This special operation is scheduled to run until July 27.

De Abreu highlighted the significance of these new routes, viewing them as a crucial step in restoring direct international flights to Margarita, a popular tourist destination in Venezuela. The expansion of connectivity with Colombia is planned for September, with an additional 27 direct flights from Cali to the island anticipated, according to Banca y Negocios.

These new flights are part of a collaborative effort involving tourism chambers, the government of Nueva Esparta, and the Ministry of Tourism. The goal is to increase visitor numbers to Margarita and solidify its status as a key regional destination. The involved institutions are reportedly working together to strengthen the island's tourism sector.
