“Today we are making history in Colombia, with the start of sales of our domestic flights in the country.

We see enormous potential in Colombia to bring low-fare air travel to all Colombians, as well as connecting to international destinations to promote development, tourism and connectivity. The ultra low cost model is back in Colombia,” commented JetSMART Airlines CEO Estuardo Ortiz.
