Wingo Expects 10% Growth in Passenger Traffic in 2025
Wingo, a Colombian budget airline owned by Panama-based Copa (NYSE:CPA), will continue its growth process during 2025 to provide more seats at a low cost to the Colombian passenger aviation market. For this year, the airline projects a 10% increase in passengers, thus reaching a total of 3.6 million passengers. This figure represents Wingo’s best operational performance since its founding as an airline and allows it, in turn, to consolidate its position as the low-cost airline with the most robust operation in Colombian territory.
“We closed the first month of 2025 with a very good performance associated with the end of the high holiday season. We are increasingly gaining the preference of the Colombian traveler, who finds in us a safe, punctual, and low-cost operation; that is, a product in line with their expectations. For 2025, we will continue to expand our route network to grow double-digit in the seats offered and passengers transported,” said Eduardo Lombana, CEO of Wingo.
More capacity for the Colombian market
Wingo will expand its offer of seats in the Colombian domestic market this year to continue growing in passenger preference and offer more low-cost options in an increasingly competitive environment. This includes increasing frequencies on existing routes and incorporating new routes, such as the recently launched one between Bucaramanga and Santa Marta. As a result of this operational decision, more than 60% of the airline’s seats will be destined for flights within the country.
“In 2025, two out of three Wingo seats will be focused on the national domestic market. This adjustment in our route network responds to the growing demand for our product that we registered during 2024 in Colombia,” Lombana highlighted.
