Originally scheduled for July 14, flights have been moved up to Friday, July 3, 2026. The decision aims to mitigate the impact on binational air connectivity between Colombia and Venezuela following operational disruptions caused by recent earthquakes and the temporary closure of Maiquet\u00eda International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Connectivity Alternative Amid the Contingency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advancing these operations addresses the critical need to maintain passenger flow between both nations while airport conditions normalize. Eduardo Lombana, CEO of Wingo, expressed the company\u2019s solidarity with those affected and highlighted the vital importance of air connectivity during crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know that staying connected is fundamental at times like this. That is why we decided to move up the launch of our Bogot\u00e1\u2013Valencia operation, aiming to provide an additional travel alternative for our passengers and help maintain connectivity between both countries while airport operations normalize,\u201d Lombana stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/06\/wingo-launches-new-nonstop-route-between-medellin-and-guatemala-city.html\">Wingo Launches New Nonstop Route Between Medellin and Guatemala City<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flight Schedule and Frequencies for the New Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To respond swiftly to immediate demand, Wingo has structured the rollout of the Bogot\u00e1\u2013Valencia route into two operational phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Contingency Operations (July 3 to July 9, 2026):<\/strong> The route will operate daily as part of the accelerated service launch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular Operations (Starting July 14, 2026):<\/strong> The airline will maintain a stable schedule of three weekly frequencies during morning hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This new service expands the network Wingo has been consolidating between Colombia and Venezuela, where it currently offers connections from Bogot\u00e1 and Medell\u00edn to Caracas. The carrier specified that it expects to resume flights to the Venezuelan capital once suitable operational conditions are restored at Maiquet\u00eda International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexibility Measures for Caracas-Bound Passengers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of its contingency plan, the airline has activated a commercial protection and flexibility policy for customers with travel plans to or from the Venezuelan capital:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eligible Passengers:<\/strong> Passengers with bookings on the Bogot\u00e1\u2013Caracas route with flights scheduled between June 26 and July 9, 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alternative Offered:<\/strong> Voluntary reaccommodation on the new Bogot\u00e1\u2013Valencia route.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Financial Terms:<\/strong> The process will be carried out with waived change fees and fare differences, strictly subject to seat and operational availability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer Service Channels:<\/strong> Rerouting can be managed directly through the official website Wingo.com or via the airline&#8217;s Call Center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wingo reaffirmed its commitment to closely supporting travelers throughout this contingency, underscoring the role of its operations in maintaining air connectivity between Colombia and Venezuela. Furthermore, airline management stated they will continue to closely monitor infrastructure developments and will provide timely updates on any additional operational measures required to guarantee service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top
