From the 3 de agosto Guayaquil se convirtió en el segundo destino en Ecuador de Wingo, la aerolínea low cost colombiana con 2 weekly frequencies.
Being the 17:07 minutos del sábado, at José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport aterrizó lo que fue el primer vuelo de la aerolínea Wingo, destino que se convirtió así en la segundo ciudad en la que opera la empresa en Ecuador.
With these new flights, the company part of Copa Holdings, se convierte en la segunda aerolínea en operar entre Bogotá y Guayaquil, donde competirá con los hasta 4 daily flights that Avianca opera en esta ruta y donde también se espera en corto tiempo ver a Viva Air Colombia operating.
Con tan solo dos vuelos semanales iniciales que operarán los días sábados y martes, la aerolínea sigue su línea de consolidación lenta y a pulso de sus nuevos mercados, which it serves with Boeing aircraft 737-700 y próximamente lo hará con aviones del modelo -800 to offer a greater offer, sin incrementar frecuencias hacia todos sus destinos desde Colombia y su nueva base en Panamá.
Wingo's arrival in Guayaquil
A delayed arrival, dado que desde que la aerolínea inició sus vuelos a Quito en diciembre de 2016 se conocía ya la intención de iniciar vuelos a la «Perla del Pacífico», pero en ese momento las condiciones del mercado no hacían factible esta operación, who now encounters a Guayaquil airport in clear growth, being Wingo's second destination in Ecuador:
- For him 8 May 2019 se oficializaron las intenciones de la aerolínea para abrir su second destination in Ecuador, siendo Guayaquil la ciudad seleccionada para este propósito de crecimiento internacional.
- The 5 June 2019 the airline got the operating permit from the aeronautical authority of Ecuador to operate with two weekly frequencies between Bogotá and Guayaquil.
Wingo landed in Guayaquil
The José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport of the city of Guayaquil received a new operator and marks its solid growth in operations and passengers that has been very positive during the 2019 for this airport and historic for all Ecuadorian aviation.
How do you characterize the airline?, for this new route it has proposed an aggressive pricing strategy, with tickets that are on sale from $130 dollars with all taxes and fees included, round trip.
Assigned for this maiden flight was one of the 4 aircraft of the airline's fleet the Boeing 737-7V3(WL) with Panamanian registration HP-1377CMP, msn serial number 30462 and with 17 years since his first flight with Copa Airlines. This aircraft is configured in a single class with the capacity to 142 passengers and is powered by two 2x CFMI CFM56-7B22 engines.
For this first flight, the occupation from Bogotá was 106 passengers and for the return from Guayaquil it was with an occupation of 122 passengers.
With the network of international and domestic destinations that Wingo operates from Bogotá, Guayaquil travelers will be able to connect 13 highly touristic and attractive destinations for the Ecuadorian market.
The two weekly flights will operate based on the following itinerary:
- From Bogota flight number P5 7055 will take off at 15:03 hours and will land in Guayaquil at 17:02 hours with a duration of 1 hour and 59 minutes.
- The return from Guayaquil flight P5 7054 will take off at 17:53 and will land back in Bogotá at 19:46 hours with a duration of 1 hour and 53 minutes.
Good evening, I need to know, What are the weekly flights from Guayaquil to Colombia?, made which cities they travel. Furthermore, the costs.
This post indicates the itineraries and schedules. You can find the rest of the destinations on the airline's website..
I found Wingo to be an excellent airline., very good being a Low Cost type…. I have had the opportunity to travel 2 times with them (Aruba y cancun) and I'm going for the third time to curaçao… and I haven't had any problems. waiting for them to expand the fleet, why already with 2 years and a half of operation, they only have 4 Planes.
They are new to the market in terms of brand, They must be cautious with their growth and it is demonstrated in their strategy, They do not take a step without being sure that it will be a success.
