The group JetSMART reported that the planning and creation of a new subsidiary is in the process, this time in the brother country of Colombia.
After having announced the creation of a subsidiary in Peru and that is looking for new markets that could be Brazil or even heard of Uruguay, JetSmart, part of Indigo Partners, confirmed its intention to open a new base in Colombia.
This information was confirmed by the La República portal and replicated by Online Aviation, where in an interview with Estuardo Ortiz, CEO of JetSmart who reported the plans to add Colombia as a new subsidiary where they already have a presence with direct flights from Chile.
“Colombia is a market that has a lot of potential.”. At the beginning of 2020 We begin operations to Colombia with routes from Bogotá and Cali to Santiago de Chile. We resumed these routes after the pandemic and recently announced the Bogotá and Cali routes to Antofagasta. We have been working with the authorities to request more authorization permits, We are going to triple the flight offer in December compared to November to Colombia. We want to position the brand to eventually have a JetSmart Colombia in 2022 or close to those dates”.
A) Yes, a new subsidiary will join Chile, Argentina, soon Peru and more options that surely, given the growth of ultra low cost throughout the region.
“The JetSmart project is quite ambitious and seeks to cover all of Latin America. Indigo Partners (an American private equity firm) led the largest aircraft purchase in history in 2017, when he bought 430 A320. JetSmart's order is 104 planes, now we operate 17, the entire fleet is new. The ultra low cost concept arrived in Colombia with Viva in 2010, and our goal is always to sell 35% cheaper than a traditional airline. In Peru we hope to have the certification at the end of the first quarter of 2021 and we started operating in the second quarter”
