Interesting flight connections

Colombia has improved a lot in recent years when it comes to international flight connections. Thanks to its strategic location in South America and the steady growth in tourism demand, the country has become increasingly attractive for airlines, business travelers, and leisure travelers.

Today, Colombia is very well connected with Europe. There are daily flights from cities such as Madrid, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Zürich, Paris, Istanbul, and even Dubai. Madrid alone offers more than six daily frequencies.

Although Bogotá remains the country’s main hub, other important cities such as Medellín and Cartagena have also strengthened their international networks significantly.

In this newsletter, we would like to highlight a few new international routes and also remind you of some existing connections that are not always well known but offer interesting possibilities to combine Colombia with other destinations.

New routes

WestJet has announced a new route between Medellín and Toronto starting April 28, operating four times per week with a Boeing 737 MAX.

The Spanish airline World2Fly, which already operates nonstop flights to Cali, has announced a new route to Cartagena. With one weekly flight, they will connect Madrid directly with the Colombian Caribbean using an Airbus A350. Starting the 3rd of July.

Colombia’s low-cost airline Wingo has recently launched a new route between Bucaramanga and Aruba, operating twice weekly and connecting the Santander region with the Caribbean.

Existing routes that are less known

Medellín – Lima
Operated daily by both LATAM and JetSmart, this route connects Colombia’s second largest city with the capital of Peru, opening many opportunities to combine both countries.

Cartagena – Lima
Also operated daily by LATAM, this nonstop flight connects the Colombian Caribbean directly with Lima and is a convenient option for combining Peru and Colombia in one itinerary.

Bogotá – Belém and Bogotá – Manaus
Both routes are operated by Avianca with A320 aircraft. Flights operate three times weekly to Belém and four times weekly to Manaus. These connections create interesting possibilities to link Colombia with northern Brazil and the Amazon region.

Bogotá – Cusco – La Paz
Avianca also operates this flight with an A320 aircraft. This interesting flight connects two fascinating cities in Peru and Bolivia. It has a commercial stop in Cusco and then continues to La Paz. The entire route takes around six hours, including the stop in Cusco. Flights operate four times a week.
