Ultra Air

Colombia’s largest airline, Avianca, is expanding at a fast pace after two of the country’s other carriers—Viva and Ultra Air—ceased operations this year.

Copa Holdings’ Colombian subsidiary Wingo has added some domestic flights, but the company has no plans soon to grow the airline’s presence significantly.

Avianca CEO Adrian Neuhauser said the “most damage done” from the exit of Viva and Ultra Air has been in Colombian cities Medellin and San Andreas.

Routes details the latest new route announcements, as well as the services returning to carriers’ networks.

The ULCC is entering a market that is exceeding pre-pandemic capacity levels, boosted by the expansion of Viva Air.

Why starting an airline during a pandemic might not be such an outlandish idea.

Ultra Air CEO William Shaw believes Colombia has a 'very big problem'—and the start-up ULCC has the ability to solve it.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created the ideal conditions for the launch of a new ULCC in Colombia, according to the founder of start-up Ultra Air.

The Irelandia Aviation-owned ULCC remains in expansion mode despite the COVID-19 pandemic delaying some of its plans.
