Summary: Colombian airline Wingo will launch Bogotá-Puerto Plata route on November 6. VP Jorge Jiménez says the city has everything to win Colombians over. I see it as the opportunity the north has been waiting for.

## Article

**Wingo** has confirmed that from **November 6** it will connect **Bogotá with Puerto Plata**, and its vice president, Jorge Jiménez, doesn't mince words: the city has everything to become a favorite among Colombians, according to [Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/aerolineas/2026/08/27/wingo-puerto-plata-tiene-todo-para-convertirse-en-un-destino-favorito-para-los-colombianos/).

The bet is not minor. Puerto Plata has spent years trying to take off beyond the North American and European markets, and now a strong origin market like Colombia appears, with a middle class that travels more and more. I see a double win here: for the airline, which expands its Caribbean network, and for the destination, which diversifies its arrivals.

There are still weeks left until the first flight, but the mere announcement already has northern coast hoteliers crunching numbers. If Wingo delivers and the route fills up, I wouldn't be surprised to see more frequencies or other Colombian airlines looking at the destination. **The demonstration effect works like that in the Caribbean.**
