Wingo Expands International Network from Medellín with New Direct Routes to Guatemala and Jamaica
Wingo is consolidating its position at José María Córdova International Airport by announcing two new direct routes to Guatemala City and Montego Bay, becoming the only airline to operate these non-stop sectors from the Antioquian capital. This expansion reinforces Medellín as a key operational hub for the low-cost carrier (LCC), responding to sustained demand growth in the region.
Medellín: A Strategic Axis for Wingo’s Operations
The significance of Medellín for Wingo is substantial. During 2025, approximately 35% of the airline’s total passenger traffic—roughly 1.2 million travelers—originated from or arrived in the capital of Antioquia.
With this latest announcement, the carrier will reach a total of 10 international destinations operated from Medellín, complementing its network of five domestic routes. According to Jorge Jiménez, Wingo’s Vice President of Commercial and Planning, these routes reflect confidence in the potential of the Antioquian traveler and the search for high-value, low-cost point-to-point destinations.
