The Colombian low cost airline Wingo will suspend its direct flights from Bogota toward Quito and Guayaquil starting in April.
Talking about an airline's flight suspension is never pleasant., but it is part of the news life of the airline industry and today we will talk about the particular case of Wingo, airline that has been with us since November 2016.
In this blog we focus on good news, but there are times when bad news for Ecuadorian aviation also takes place, even if we don't like them.

Wingo landed on Quito, which was precisely one of his first international destinations after his change of Aerorepública, the 22 November 2016 at that time with his fleet of airplanes Boeing 737-700.
With good numbers and always varying their frequencies to Quito of between 3 until 5 weekly flights, Less than three years later, the airline expanded its presence in Ecuador incorporating the Guayaquil to your route network, where he operated from 3 of January of 2019 with up 4 weekly frequencies.
Now, in a new complex competitive environment, plus the socio-economic situation experienced by the Ecuador, The airline has made an important decision in favor of its sustainability and long-term profitability, also echoing new competition that is entering the Colombian domestic market.
This information has been confirmed via Wingo's own website, in which flights to Ecuador are on sale until these dates:
- Quito, last flight 7 april 2024.
- Guayaquil, last flight 7 april 2024.
At the moment I remain attentive to the official statement requested from the airline, which told me that they are working on changes to the itineraries of certain routes and that it will be shared later.
The low offer, but there are options
In this way, the important market between Colombia and Ecuador It is formed as follows since June:
