Wingo, a Colombian ultra-low-cost airline that has been operating in Panama since 2016, announces to the market the creation of a new airline with a Panamanian operating certificate: Wingo Panama.
This airline already has all the necessary permits to operate, issued by the Panama Civil Aeronautics Authority.
The new airline will begin operations on August 11, when the Panama Pacifico - David route takes off, the first domestic route in Panama operated under the ultra-low-cost model, which allows passengers to access cheaper rates and design the experience travel according to your preferences.
The new route between Panama - Pacific and David will have two frequencies a week, on Fridays and Sundays, allowing Panamanians, residents and tourists the possibility of enjoying a weekend in the capital of the tourist and agro-industrial province of Chiriquí .
“We are very excited to continue in our growth process and to take the service and the Wingo model, successfully tested in Colombia, to other latitudes in Latin America. With the emergence of Wingo Panama, we already have two airlines that operate under the Wingo brand in the region," said Eduardo Lombana, CEO of Wingo.
With the emergence of Wingo Panama, the airline seeks to encourage greater air passenger traffic within the country, thus mobilizing a greater number of travelers linked to domestic tourism.
“Panama has always been an important market for us and that is why we take this step of creating our own local airline. With our first operation to David, we increase the connectivity options for locals and visitors, resulting in a greater benefit for the entire national hotel and tourism ecosystem,” Lombana pointed out.
Wingo Operation in Panama
The Wingo airline, with a Colombian operating certificate, already offers its operation in Panama to seven international destinations: Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bogotá, Medellín and Cali, in Colombia, as well as Havana, Cuba, and San José de Costa Rica.
All its flight offers are made at the Panama Pacifico International Airport, which is located just 15 minutes from downtown Panama City.
