Your landing in the country contemplates the operation of 27 routes between the airports from Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, Cali, Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Bucaramanga, San Andrés, Pereira, Montería, Cúcuta, Pasto and Pereira.
After receiving the endorsement from the Civil Aeronautics, JetSmart must start the process that allows it to obtain the operating permit to provide its services in the country. It would have its main base in the city of Bogotá, and would use Airbus A320-271 Neo type aircraft.
The company will ensure that its entry into Colombia will allow it to take advantage of the slots (airtime slots provided to carry out its activities) at the Bogotá airport and other terminals, maintaining connectivity throughout the country and access to air transport to low prices.
“We have been chosen as the best low cost in South America and we want to carry out this service in Colombia, where the geography and the lack of a suitable red road make air transport essential for the mobilization of people”, specified the CEO and president of JetSmart, Estuardo Ortiz.
