As part of its strategy to strengthen operations in eastern Colombia, Wingo <\/strong>has expanded its capacity on the route connecting Bucaramanga and Santa Marta<\/strong>. Since August 19, the airline added 7,812 additional seats to this schedule, reinforcing one of the most popular connections for passengers from Santander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to this adjustment, the route operated on a two-weekly frequency schedule, regularly set for Fridays and Sundays. Under the new operational plan, Wingo will offer three fixed weekly frequencies, scaling up to four weekly flights during peak demand periods. This capacity increase will be implemented by adding operations on Mondays and\/or Wednesdays, depending on seasonal market variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consolidation of the Regional Hub and Response to Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The capacity expansion directly responds to commercial performance across the region. Year-to-date in 2026, Wingo has recorded cumulative passenger traffic exceeding 103,000 travelers departing from the capital of Santander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Bucaramanga has established itself as a key city within our network in Colombia, and we want to continue offering more alternatives so that Santander residents can fly direct to their most requested destinations. Santa Marta is a prime example of this strong performance: we have seen high demand for this connection, which is why we increased our capacity with more frequencies and options for travel to the Caribbean.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
