Wingo Inaugurates New Direct Route Between Bucaramanga and Santa Marta
Wingo inaugurated its non-stop flights between Bucaramanga and Santa Marta this Friday. This marks the airline’s second route from Palonegro International Airport and its third from Simón Bolívar Airport.
The significance of this route lies in it being the first time these two cities are directly connected by air, a milestone for regional mobility. In just one hour, travelers can journey between the “Beautiful City” and one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Colombian Caribbean.
Frequencies and Capacity of the New Route
The operation includes two weekly flights on Fridays and Sundays, a schedule designed to accommodate weekend getaways and tourist travel. Wingo has made approximately 3,000 monthly seats available for both directions, bolstering the supply of affordable direct flights from Bucaramanga.

We already foresee very positive outcomes, as reflected in the projected occupancy rates for these initial flights.”

Tickets are now available on the airline’s website, with promotional launch fares starting at COP 109,000 per one-way trip in the basic category, which includes one personal item. This competitive pricing reinforces Wingo’s commitment to democratizing air travel without sacrificing service quality.
