Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic — November 2026.
Wingo officially launched its new direct flight route between Puerto Plata and Bogotá, establishing a nonstop connection between the Dominican Republic’s North Coast and Colombia’s capital. The new service creates additional opportunities for tourism, trade, and business between both countries. The inaugural ceremony took place at Gregorio Luperón International Airport, attended by local officials and airport authorities.
Operating twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays, the route will provide 8,928 seats in both directions throughout its inaugural season, which runs until January 25, 2027. For travelers from Puerto Plata, Santiago de los Caballeros, and the wider Cibao region, the service introduces a convenient nonstop option for visiting Bogotá during the year-end holidays and the beginning of 2027.
“We are delighted to arrive in Puerto Plata and open the only direct route between Colombia and the northern Dominican Republic. It is exciting to imagine everything that can begin with this flight: a dream vacation, a reunion, or a new business opportunity. That is what we do at Wingo: bring countries closer together, create opportunities for tourism and business, and expand the horizons of our travelers”
Olga Trujillo (Commercial Manager for Wingo’s Indirect and Leisure Sales Channel)
Meanwhile, Luis José López, Communications Director at AERODOM, emphasized the importance of the new route in supporting tourism and economic development across the Dominican Republic’s northern region.
“The addition of this new direct route between Puerto Plata and Bogotá strengthens air connectivity in the northern region and opens new opportunities for tourism, trade, and business. At AERODOM, together with VINCI Airports, we continue working to promote connections that contribute to the development of the Dominican Republic and expand travel options for our passengers,” said the AERODOM spokesperson.
A New Gateway to Bogotá and Colombia
For Dominican travelers, Bogotá offers a vibrant mix of culture, gastronomy, shopping, and entertainment. From exploring the historic streets of La Candelaria and visiting the city’s museums to experiencing its renowned restaurant scene, Colombia’s capital provides plenty of reasons to visit. The new direct connection also makes business travel and visits with family and friends more convenient.
In the opposite direction, the route creates new opportunities for Colombian travelers to discover Puerto Plata, from its beautiful beaches and natural landscapes to its rich history and outdoor adventures. Visitors can also explore the cultural attractions, dining experiences, and business opportunities of Santiago de los Caballeros and other destinations throughout the Dominican Republic’s North Coast.
