LATAM Airlines to Launch Bogotá-to-Ibague Flight in March

LATAM Airlines Colombia will launch a new daily flight starting March 31 from Bogotá to Ibague, the underserved capital city of the department of Tolima in central Colombia.

Tickets are already available for purchase on this route between El Dorado International Airport in the national capital to Perales Airport in Ibaque, which will be served by an Airbus 320 that seats 174 passengers.

With this capacity and projected demand, the Colombian arm of the Chilean airline expects to transport more than 9,000 guests per month between the two cities.

This brings LATAM’s overall network in Colombia to 16 different cities with a total of 36 routes overall, according to the airline.

“We are pleased to find that there are more and more opportunities to grow our operation in the country, specifically in the destinations that most need connectivity, which allows LATAM to fulfill its task of boosting the supply in Colombia,” said Santiago Álvarez, the executive director of LATAM Airlines Colombia.

“Ibagué is a route of great interest due to its economic, touristic and commercial role in the country, which is why we consider it an excellent alternative to strengthen our domestic network.”
