Low-cost Colombian carrier Wingo has officially inaugurated a brand-new direct air link connecting Puerto Plata’s Gregorio Luperón International Airport to Bogotá, marking a major expansion of cross-border air connectivity between the northern Dominican Republic and Colombia, while unlocking tangible new growth opportunities for regional tourism, commercial exchange, and corporate travel. The newly launched service will run two weekly scheduled flights, departing every Monday and Friday, with a combined total of 8,928 two-way seats available across its inaugural operational window, which is set to run through January 25, 2027. For local communities spanning Puerto Plata, Santiago, and the broader Cibao Valley region, the nonstop route eliminates the need for inconvenient connecting itineraries, granting seamless direct access to Colombia’s capital city for the upcoming peak holiday travel period and the opening months of 2027. The reciprocal travel benefits extend to Colombian visitors as well: the streamlined, low-fare air connection will significantly lower barriers for Colombian travelers to explore the northern Dominican Republic’s world-renowned white-sand beaches, lush ecological reserves, vibrant cultural heritage sites, distinctive local gastronomy, and fast-growing commercial hubs. This latest route addition brings Wingo’s total portfolio of nonstop services linking Colombia and the Dominican Republic to four distinct connections, complementing the carrier’s existing operational lines: Punta Cana-Bogotá, Punta Cana-Medellín, and Santo Domingo-Medellín.
