The redesign focused on increasing capacity and integrating elements of Colombian culture, as well as advancing the airline’s sustainability objectives.

“With this renovation, we aim for passengers to experience a space designed to meet their travel needs. Each area is conceived to reflect what we are: an evolving airline connected to its environment,” stated Erika Zarante, CEO of LATAM Airlines Colombia.

The renovation included structural and material changes intended to optimize the passenger experience. Key design elements include translucent metal dividers, influenced by the design of the Santiago de Chile lounge, a copper curtain, an artisanal piece crafted by Colombian artist Lizarazo, was retained from the previous design, serving as an exercise in aesthetic continuity and sustainability. Additionally, local artisans crafted the palm-woven Iraca lamps, which the airline states is a commitment to local production.

Approximately 70% of the seating and furnishings were updated for improved comfort, including the co-working areas, via a materials reutilization process. The facility also incorporated new motion-sensor faucets and other materials with a low environmental impact. A metallic structure lamp, weighing an estimated 400 kilograms, was installed over the buffet area, positioning the space as a central feature of the lounge. The redesign provided an unobstructed view of the runway for departing passengers.

The lounge’s food and beverage program was also updated to align with Colombian culinary traditions. The menu rotates every two weeks and features regional dishes such as calentado, carne con salsa cartagenera, aborrajados, and volcán de arequipe. A separate “Coffee Break” space is dedicated exclusively to the country’s coffee production. During peak hours, an exclusive offering, including gourmet meatballs and omelets, is available to passengers.

The lounge has been positioned by the airline as a leader in waste management within the group’s network. It currently reports an 88% recycling rate, with 12% of its total waste directed to landfills. The facility accommodates an average daily demand of 700 to 800 passengers, with future plans to evolve toward a multi-space format similar to the airline’s Signature lounges in Santiago, Lima, and Miami.

The renovation follows a period of growth for the carrier’s Colombian subsidiary. During the third quarter of 2025, LATAM Airlines Colombia transported an estimated 7.9 million passengers across its 18 domestic and seven international routes.

In the cargo sector, the company reported a 43% market share, moving 99.5 tons internationally and 22.7 kilotons domestically. The loyalty program, LATAM Pass, continues to expand its base, reporting 4 million active members.

Finance Colombia was present during Vitrina Turistica 2025, the huge travel industry trade show put on in Bogotá by ANATO, the travel industry trade organization. During a presentation given by JetSmart executives outlining the airline’s growth and plans for Colombia, Finance Colombia Executive Editor Loren Moss was able to ask a few questions of  Chief Commercial Officer Victor Mejia. Colombia Country Manager Mario Garcia was also on hand. By clicking above, the reader can hear the original interview in Spanish.

Finance Colombia: Victor, very kind of you. Thank you for weighing in on this. My question is, I saw that when purchasing my ticket to fly here, I could now put my American Airlines AAdvantage loyalty program number into my JetSmart reservation. How has that reception been? And taking into account your alliance with American Airlines since you are growing internationally, can you grow to North America and more destinations in the Caribbean? Or would the strategy be to leave that to your partners and connect through them?

Victor Mejia: No, thank you for the question. Look, the truth is that to offer AAdvantage, AAdvantage miles for all JetSMART travelers so that they can accumulate them by buying tickets and continue flying with us, and then use their miles to redeem all the options that American Airlines has to visit in the world, it is a great benefit. We are very proud of being able to share and offer it to our travelers. So, we invite everyone to enter their AAdvantage number every time they buy a ticket on JetSMART, so they can receive the benefits of flying.

We will continue to expand our airline, mainly in Colombia; like the news we just saw, our Cali-San Andres flight. And we will continue to look for the opportunity to bring in air connectivity. American Airlines is our partner, we are there supporting each other through code share flights, and we will be bringing that to Colombia in the future. So no, definitely the options to provide international connectivity, either directly or through our alliance with American Airlines, will continue to be there.

Finance Colombia: And the importance of having Indigo Partners as an investor?

Victor Mejia: Yes well, Indigo Partners is our airline’s founding partner, they have more than 20 years of experience with the low-cost model around the world, and they are very tied to and very involved with the airline. We work hand in hand in all the management with Indigo. They also help us view the global perspective of aviation. And in the part of fleet acquisitions, which is why we can have the newest fleet in South America, we were recently recognized for that again, and continue to receive brand-new aircraft from the factory, Airbus A320 and A321. Those are some of the strengths of belonging to the Indigo Partners group.

JetSMART discusses the airline’s growth in Colombia

Ana: JetSMART’s commitment to connectivity and tourism in Colombia is undeniable. We are in this 44th edition of the ANATO Vitrina Turística 2025, which is the most important event of the sector in the country, and the best venue to deliver great news. Since it arrived in Colombia in March of last year, JetSMART has revolutionized the way Colombians travel, Smart model, with its ultra-low-cost model, where passengers pay only for what they need. Connecting more cities, facilitating access to flights through very low fares. Today it continues to expand its presence in the country, giving more Colombians the opportunity to fly in an affordable, efficient way and with the most modern fleet in South America, the youngest.

Today we will share with all of you the airline’s progress in Colombia, we will do a presentation, and so I invite Victor Mejia, JetSMART’s Chief Commercial Officer to provide all this information. So of course once again, we welcome Victor. Go ahead.

“And we have been serving the Colombian market since March of 2024. Yes, we have six international routes from Colombia.” – Victor Mejia

Victor Mejia: Thank you, Ana. Good morning everyone. It is a pleasure to be here again at Anato, sharing with you -there are some familiar faces from last year as well- the JetSMART news. This year we are also bringing good news, and we wanted to take advantage of the Vitrina Turística de Anato, what better place to do it, than to tell you how we did in this first year of operation? But also to bring good news, so I hope it will be to everyone’s liking. For those of you who we haven’t had the pleasure of knowing, or have not had the opportunity to get to know JetSMART, let me tell you a little bit about our airline.

JetSMART is owned by the Indigo Partners investment fund, a private investment fund based in Phoenix, Arizona, which has airlines all over the world in the ultra-low-cost model. One of these airlines, which may be familiar to you, is Volaris in Mexico, which is the number 1 or 2 airline in Mexico. You also have Frontier in the United States, there is also the Wizz Air airline in Europe, and Cebu Pacific in the Philippines, and for South America we took on the task of founding JetSMART, in 2016. The company started flying in July 2017, and since then we have been serving different countries in Latin America. And now we are going to tell you a little bit about how we’ve been expanding. So a bit like I was saying before, with the Indigo Partners group that has more than 20 years of experience in ultra-low-cost airlines around the world.

Also our mission; well we came here because we want to connect 100 million people. So far we are already 35, we are getting there, moving forward in the middle of a pandemic also, which was challenging for the whole sector, for all sectors I think. But well, for the aviation sector, it was especially challenging. But we are on that path, and as part of that path, we have opened operations in different countries in South America with our Smart model. It is an ultra-low-cost model that has been the fastest growing in the world in recent years; in Europe, it is already very mature, and in the United States as well. In South America, we have already been in different countries for several years with the low-cost model, which is very well known in Colombia.

There were important changes in the sector, we saw the opportunity, and that is why we are here, to serve by bringing back the low-cost model to Colombia. Our models, new airplanes, we are going to talk a little bit more about that. Our prices, as well, are low, so that people can travel a lot, can select what they want to customize in their trip, and what they want to pay for. Because the ticket they are going to buy with JetSMART, the lowest fare possible, is going to allow them to travel from point A to point B, and the passenger can customize their trip, choosing if they want luggage if they want a specific seat. It is a model that is a bit more transparent as well, that allows the passenger to not pay for what they do not need.

In our strategy, we also try to have routes, what we call Smart routes, which are routes that do not necessarily go to the big hubs that exist in the different countries, but that connect point-to-point cities that need air transportation, and that are not being served. So we have been adding routes between cities that did not normally have an air connectivity service. As for our fleet, well, in the year 2028, we will be reaching 124 aircraft. We currently have 44 aircraft in operation. The request was made in a historic aircraft order that we have made hand in hand with Indigo Partners and the other airlines of the group. They are already committed, they are already signed and purchased, so it is the most prominent aircraft reception process we have, and in permanent growth.

We have aircraft of the Airbus A320 and A321 family. Of A320 we have the A320neo fleet, and of A321 also neo, which is the most efficient aircraft available to date. We are the first operator in South America to have this type of aircraft. The interior of our aircraft they are brand new, they are efficient, with E-Leather seat technology, which is very comfortable and light. Part of our model is to be very cost-efficient to translate that cost-efficiency into pricing for consumers. We are committed to sustainability; our aircraft represent the diversity of the region; each aircraft has its own identity, an animal from the different countries where we operate. We work with different environmental conservation entities in different countries, and we are bringing that identity to the tails of the airplanes.

We are very proud to share with you a piece of news, a scoop from a couple of days ago, and that is that once again Ch-Aviation, which is an aviation institute that evaluates all the fleets around the world, has recognized and verified that we have the newest airplane fleet in South America, once again for the year 2025. This is a product of the fact that, as I shared with you before, we are constantly receiving new aircraft from the Airbus factory, so this is going to be something that we believe we will be maintaining for some time because these aircraft will continue to arrive every year.

Also one of our partners, a minority shareholder of the company but also a commercial ally, is American Airlines. We have a very broad commercial alliance that involves code-share flights, which we do not have in Colombia yet, but they will come and we will be sharing them with you as soon as they do. But we do have them in other countries in South America. Also, the frequent flyer program, AAdvantage, in which today, AAdvantage frequent flyer program members can earn miles when they buy tickets on JetSMART, and fly with JetSMART. And you can redeem those miles in America and fly all over the world. So it’s a very, very important partner.

As I was sharing with you, in 2017 we started flying, and we took on the task of bringing air connectivity to all of South America. Currently, we serve South America with 81 routes, we serve 8 countries, and we have domestic operations in 4 countries. The first one we started in Chile in 2017, later we went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and we have served the entire Argentine domestic since 2019. Later in the pandemic, since we were all cooped up at home, we got creative and decided to open in Peru, so we started operating in Peru. And last year, finally, with great pleasure for many of us who have a past linked to Colombia, we arrived in Colombia.

And we have been serving the Colombian market since March of 2024. Yes, we have six international routes from Colombia. And for this, we are going to talk a little bit more about our arrival in Colombia and how we have been doing so far, what we have been up to this last year, so I want to pass the floor to Mario Garcia, our Country Manager here at JetSMART in Colombia. So, Mario, the microphone is yours.

Mario Garcia: Good morning. I’m very pleased to be here and with a full house. I would like to tell you a bit, after what Victor explained to us, about what has been done throughout South America, and what we have done in Colombia. In Colombia, out of those 44 airplanes, we have 8 airplanes operating, 320, and we have these six international routes. We connect Cartagena, Medellín, Cali, Bogotá, with Santiago, Lima and Antofagasta. It has been a very fluid and year-round operation. And now to talk a bit about domestic flights. We started operating on March 14 of last year, and we already have, with what we are going to announce now, 19 domestic routes; we serve 10 cities; last year we flew two and a half million people; we had close to 14,000 operations; 14,000 take-offs in 9 months.

That incorporation of airplanes was practically one airplane per month, a very accelerated growth, and in order to bring airplanes and air travel closer to Colombia. Today we have one of the highest per capita flight averages in the region; 0.8 flights per person, and we want to be a support for more Colombians to fly and get closer to airplanes. Since we have been flying, 38% of passengers have flown in a plane for the first time with us.

On connectivity with the San Andrés Archipelago

Audience member: I would also like to ask you, we know that yesterday you met with (San Andrés & {Profidencia) Governor Nicolas Gallardo. What other things could you anticipate for us (from the San Andrés Archipelago)? What other, let’s say, destinations are also being explored to connect San Andres, both nationally and internationally? Thank you.

Victor Mejia: Thank you for your questions. We are very pleased with the performance of this Medellín -San Andres route. We had a very good reception from the public, not only in Medellín, but we also made international connectivity. The idea is that both from Medellín and from the new route we are announcing now, Cali-San Andres, there will be international connectivity. To Cali, we fly Santiago-Cali and Antofagasta-Cali. We are the only ones flying those direct flights to the city of Cali, and the idea is to also use this as a connection point to the San Andres island. Our purpose for the time being is to continue gathering more opportunities.

Hopefully, we can turn these four frequencies into more, if we have the reception we expect from the public, and through that, we can make the flight to the island from different points more viable. So let’s continue working hand in hand, it is truly a pleasure to receive the support of both the local media and the government, and with all the actors and tour operators of the island. We will be bringing you international connectivity through the two points of  Medellín and Cali.

The Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic was present at the fair with an official stand, inaugurated in the presence of the Minister of Tourism, David Collado. During the inauguration, the minister highlighted the importance of the Colombian market and initiated a series of cultural and business activities that will strengthen relations with the country’s tourism sector. “With this participation in ANATO 2025, we reaffirm our commitment to promote the Dominican Republic as a key destination and strengthen our relationship with Colombian tourism, a strategic ally for the growth of the sector,” Collado said. The inauguration was also attended by the media, who highlighted the relevance of this event for the tourism industry.

As part of its strategy to strengthen the Colombian market, the Dominican Republic held a successful roadshow at the Sheraton Hotel in Bogotá, where it presented the latest developments in the destination. The event brought together travel agencies, representatives of the hotel sector, and renowned international public figures, who lived first-hand the experiences that the country offers its visitors. This roadshow, like other events organized during the fair, is consolidated as a key space for the generation of business, the strengthening of commercial relations, and the promotion of new opportunities in the tourism sector.

Colombians’ interest in the Dominican Republic continues to rise. In 2023, 305,655 Colombian tourists visited the country, and in 2024, the figure grew to 335,819, evidencing a constantly growing demand. A key factor has been air connectivity, with more than 3,600 flights operated in 2024 between the two countries. Of these, 50% depart from El Dorado Airport in Bogotá, and more than 60% of passengers arrive directly in Punta Cana. Airlines such as Copa Airlines, Avianca, Arajet, Wingo, and Air Century have played a fundamental role in the consolidation of these routes.

In addition to Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic has diversified its tourism offerings, positioning new regions such as Costa del Ámbar, Miches, Samaná, and Santiago. These destinations offer a unique combination of nature, luxury, history, and culture, with paradisiacal landscapes, eco-adventures, and vibrant urban centers with a rich gastronomic tradition.

To strengthen its relationship with the tourism sector, the country has “DO Travel Rewards”, a loyalty program aimed at travel agents that has trained and connected more than 20,000 professionals around the world with the hotel industry, generating new opportunities and value offers for travelers. With its outstanding presence at ANATO 2025 and the support of the Ministry of Tourism, the Dominican Republic reaffirms its commitment to the Colombian market, consolidating strategic alliances and presenting its wide tourism offering to continue attracting more travelers in the coming years.

In addition to JetSmart’s domestic operations, starting with three Airbus A320neo aircraft, the airline has already been flying international routes between Medellín, Lima Peru, and Santiago, Chile.

Travelers will be able to take advantage of exclusive discounts on domestic routes with tickets starting at $47,800 Colombian pesos (including fees and taxes) or about $13 US Dollars.

Jetsmart also announced Thursday that the airline’s Colombian base of operations will be at the José María Córdova International Airport in Rionegro, Colombia; a suburb of Medellín.  CEO Estuardo Ortíz (above photo, left) credited the work of the mayoral administrations of Medellín, Rionegro, the Governor of Antioquia, and Airport operations contractor Airplan.

“We believe, trust and invest in Colombia, and especially today we are committed to the region of Antioquia and its more than six and a half million inhabitants, to contribute to tourism, development and connectivity of all communities, just as we have already done with the 25 million people who have already flown with us throughout South America. We want the region to go out into the world, and for Antioquia, Medellín and the region to connect from the airport in Rionegro to more destinations and frequencies, both domestic and international. Our new operation in Colombia is an important step in our vision of 100 million passengers and 100 aircraft by 2028,” said Ortíz.

JetSmart launched a total of eight direct routes from Medellín to Santa Marta, Cartagena and Bogotá; and from Bogota, to Cartagena, Pereira, Santa Marta and Medellín, as well as from Cartagena to Pereira and Cali. These domestic routes are in addition to the seven international routes that JetSmart flies from Medellín to Chile and Peru, with connections to Argentina and Uruguay. Codeshare agreements will provide connectivity north to the United States through American Airlines, and JetSmart has announced coming participation to American Airlines’ AAdvantage loyalty program.

JetSmart is part of the airline portfolio of U.S. investment fund Indigo Partners, along with airlines Frontier in the United States, WizzAir in Europe, Volaris in Mexico and Cebu Pacific in Asia.

Indigo Partners Principal Brian Franke (above photo, right) said that “We are looking forward to the start of JetSMART’s domestic operations in Colombia and continue to invest in the region to develop the ultra-low-cost model. We see tremendous growth potential in Colombia, and as we expand JetSmart we continue to provide affordable air travel to more people and communities.”

Operating Out Of Terminal 2 In Bogotá

Thursday morning, JetSmart celebrated its Colombian domestic launch with a press conference in the Puente Aereo, or Terminal 2 of Bogotá’s El Dorado International Airport. Bogotá airport operator OPAIN renovated parts of Terminal 2 with new chairs and seating areas, installing Veripax technology for digital reading of boarding passes, and an exclusive area for VIP and official travelers. They also expanded the gate areas, remodeled the bathrooms, installed new floors and charging areas.

“We celebrate the start of JetSMART’s domestic operations in the country, as this strengthens the sector and boosts El Dorado’s position as the main hub for connection to the regions of Colombia. We have adapted Terminal 2 – the former Air Bridge, so that travelers can take their domestic flights in a more comfortable and agile way,”  said Natalí Leal, General Manager of OPAIN.

It is important that domestic passengers flying JetSmart from Bogotá keep in mind that flights leave from Terminal 2, while international flights still arrive and depart from the main terminal. There is a free shuttle that travels between the two airport terminals. Travelers must allow adequate time for transfers, and if necessary, immigration for international flights. Passengers arriving to El Dorado International Airport for domestic JetSmart flights should be explicit with transportation providers that they will be departing from Terminal 2 or “El Puente Aereo.”

Among the projects listed in the report: 

• ENAPAC (Chile – USD $ 1,5 Bn): The project will be located in Caldera and will have a desalination plant with a maximum capacity of 2,630 liters per second, which will be supplied with solar energy and will also have a water reservoir with a capacity of 600,000 cubic meters, from where the water will be distributed to the different industrial users of the Atacama Region that require it.
• SANTO DOMINGO MINE (Chile – USD $1 B): Desalination plant located in the sector of the concentrator plant. Its desalination rate is 1,865 m³/day and will provide desalinated water for smaller processes, the higher consumption will be by seawater directly (without desalinating). Expected to begin operations in 2023.
• COLLAHUASI MINE (Chile – USD $ 500 M): The Collahuasi reverse osmosis desalination plant will have an initial flow of 525 l/s that will increase to 1,050 l/s to extend the useful life of the mine by 20 years and will raise the processing capacity to 210,000 t/d compared to 170,000 t/d current. ACCIONA has been awarded the design and construction of a seawater desalination plant, the agreement also contemplates the operation and maintenance of the plant by ACCIONA for two years, extendable for another three. Meanwhile, the water supply system that will be executed by Techint contemplates the fitting out of the 195 km long aqueduct along a route parallel to the existing mineral pipeline.
• LOS CALATOS (Peru – USD $ 650 M): The desalination plant is part of a mining project which covers an area of 275km², has been designated a project of national interest by the Peruvian government. Seawater is planned to be used for metallurgical processing purposes.

It it’s initial phase of operations, the flights will all connect Bogotá’s El Dorado International Airport to Medellín, Cartagena, Pereira, and Santa Marta.

JetSmart’s fleet in the Andean nation will consist of Airbus A320 Neo aircraft that can transport 186 passengers.

These domestic flights add to the various international routes that the Santiago-based airline operates within Colombia.

In all, JetSmart, which brands itself as an “ultra-low-cost carrier” and has offered introductory promotional fares as low as 30,000 Colombian pesos ($8 USD) will soon be offering these flights within the Colombian market:

• Bogotá to Medellín
• Bogotá to Cartagena
• Bogotá to Pereira
• Bogotá to Santa Marta
• Bogotá to Santiago, Chile
• Medellín to Santiago, Chile
• Cali to Santiago, Chile
• Cali to Antofagasta, Chile
• Medellín to Lima, Peru
• Cartagena to Lima, Peru

By adding additional capacity, JetSmart is helping to fill the void in an airline market that saw exit of low-cost carriers Viva Air and Ultra Air in 2023. Their departure has left the two largest players, Avianca and LATAM Airlines, with an even more dominant position.

“We see enormous potential in Colombia, to bring low-fare air travel to all Colombians, as well as connect with international destinations to promote development, tourism and connectivity,” said Estuardo Ortiz, CEO and president. “The ultra-low-cost model is back in Colombia.”

JetSmart currently operates domestically in Chile, Argentina, and Peru, with Colombia soon to become the fourth market where it operates locally.

The appointment marks another link between the two airlines, which have announced a codeshare on flights between Chile and the United States with plans for JetSmart customers to eventually have access to the global carriers AAdvantage loyalty program.

JetSmart, which has been pushing to grow in the Colombian market, praised Johnson, who serves as vice president and chief strategy officer at American Airlines, for his role in advancing the US airline’s strategy and corporate development.

“It is an honor to welcome Steve to the board of directors of JetSmart Airlines,” said Estuardo Ortiz, CEO of JetSmart. “He brings more than 30 years of corporate leadership and board experience. His broad business acumen will be a key asset to our expansion plans in South America.”

Johnson has already attended his first board meeting in Santiago.

“American’s partnership with JetSmart opens up a world of possibilities for our customers to have access to the largest network, lowest fares and best travel rewards program in America,” Johnson said. “I am thrilled to join JetSmart’s board of directors during this exciting phase of our partnership.”
