What airlines are there in Colombia?

Avianca is the flagship airline: it was born in Barranquilla in December 1919 as SCADTA and operates a domestic and international network from its Bogotá connecting hub with Airbus A320 and Boeing 787 aircraft. Since its 2020-2021 restructuring it has worked under a hybrid model, with basic fares and paid add-on services. LATAM Airlines Colombia, a subsidiary of the Chilean-Brazilian group, is the second-largest operator in the domestic market and connects the country with the Lima and São Paulo hubs.

Wingo, a Copa Holdings subsidiary based in Bogotá, operates Boeing 737s on domestic routes and to the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico. JetSMART, part of the Indigo Partners group, opened its Colombian subsidiary in 2024 with Airbus A320s and has grown quickly on trunk routes. Clic, the name adopted by EasyFly, and state-owned Satena cover regional aviation with ATR turboprops; Satena, attached to the Ministry of Defense, maintains social routes to the Amazon, the Pacific and the Orinoquía regions that no private operator would serve.

Colombia has seen several airlines exit in a short span: Viva Air suspended operations in February 2023 after a failed integration with Avianca, and Ultra Air closed weeks later. That consolidation explains why Avianca and LATAM account for most domestic passengers. The regulator is the Civil Aeronautics authority (Aerocivil), which publishes monthly traffic statistics, and Bogotá's El Dorado is the country's main airport and one of the busiest in Latin America for cargo. Market shares change every season, so it's worth checking the official source (as of September 2026).
