Wingo announced, together with the Government of San Andres, a 75% increase in its seating capacity on the two routes it operates to the island. The six additional frequencies will represent a total of 9 thousand seats per month, which in turn represents a new boost for tourism and the economic dynamics of the archipelago.

For the San Andres – Barranquilla – San Andres route, Wingo will begin the implementation of its daily flight starting October 28, 2024, increasing from four to seven frequencies per week. These three additional flights represent 4,500 seats per month.

“We are very pleased to announce this increase in capacity to San Andres on our scheduled routes from Barranquilla and Cartagena.
