Low-cost Colombian airline, Wingo, announced more flights between Costa Rica and Colombia.


The new aircraft is a Boeing 737-800 Next Generation with a capacity to transport 186 passengers. The increased seating capacity on the plane is to meet the demand of more and more travelers.


According to the airline, the new schedule includes significant double-digit growth in the number of flights from both countries. And additional increasing flights between Colombia and Aruba, Panama, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Cuba.


 

“At Wingo we are preparing for the year-end peak season by offering additional flights, expanding our itinerary publication and incorporating a new aircraft to our fleet," Jorge Jiménez, Wingo’s Commercial and Planning Director said. "With the current behavior of passenger demand, we expect to close 2022 with more than 2 million passengers transported."


These flights are now available for purchase through Wingo.com.


Wingo is one of many airlines that offers new flights to Costa Rica. Last week, British Airways announced new direct flights between Costa Rica and the UK three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
