“These 50 thousand travelers reflect the good acceptance of the Wingo product in the Colombia-Venezuela market. Our high occupancy factors are evidence of the need and demand for a direct connection between both nations. We will continue to be the favorite option for travelers in this market and our route network decisions are moving in that direction,” said Eduardo Lombana, CEO of Wingo.

Eight months of operation of the Bogotá – Caracas route

After eight months of operation on this route, Wingo has reached an occupancy rate of close to 90% with more than 40 thousand passengers transported.

The majority of travelers using this route are Venezuelan nationals, with a diversity of profiles ranging from business travelers to ethnic passengers, who travel to Caracas to reconnect with family members.

At the end of 2023, Wingo transported 41% of the passengers on this route, when there were already about five options in the market with available frequencies. It is important to mention that, in December 2023, the company increased its capacity on this route with an additional frequency to reach four weekly (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday).
