For our Ecuadorian market, the interest that Guayaquil is raising since the beginning is important. 2018 on the airlines, thanks to interesting incentives and a recovering market.

These two requested routes to Ecuador clearly have a tourist attraction and despite the fact that Cartagena and Santa Marta are geographically quite close, It could be foreseen that the airline would carry out an operation "hopping" one day between one city and another and even operate only during the holiday or high season in both countries..

From both destinations the airline requests to operate with 3 weekly flights to be operated on Airbus A320-214 aircraft.

Santa Marta, recently became the airline's third hub in Colombia from where some international routes such as Miami and Guayaquil have started could be added soon.

It should be noted that the request for this route does not imply an eminent start of operations, since this is a common strategy for airlines to request certain routes in advance to in one way or another "block" the entry of competition or new potential competitors on routes that are under analysis..

We will continue to inform you soon of any new movement or progress of this order., that at least for now, has not started its process before the competent entity on the Ecuadorian side and its restart of operations that would be towards Guayaquil from Bogotá.
