The Colombian low-cost carrier Viva Air has an aggressive plan to expand in the next few years. It plans to take on new aircraft, to increase its fleet to 50 units by 2025. It will push the Colombian city of Medellin into a hub, and lower the fares across Latin America. Simple Flying spoke with Viva Air’s CEO, Félix Antelo about the carrier’s future plans.

Let’s talk about the fleet
Currently, Viva Air has a fleet of 22 aircraft, all A320 family-based, according to Planespotters.net. In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Colombian low-cost carrier incorporated the first four A320neos into its fleet.
As Interjet’s fleet remains grounded, and with the carrier facing an uncertain future, Wingo is one of three LCCs that see the route as an attractive point-to-point leisure market.
Sabre Market Intelligence figures show that O&D traffic between Medellín and Cancun totaled 137,233 two-way passengers in 2019, up by 63% on the previous 12 months.
As well as launching MDE-CUN, Wingo plans to resume flying between Bogota (BOG) and Mexico City (MEX) on March 22, initially operating twice a week using 186-seat 737-800s. The airline began serving the destinations direct in December 2016.
“We are exploring increasing the number of weekly flights between the capitals of Colombia and Mexico because we know that the market response will be positive, taking into account that Wingo already operated this route,” the LCC added in a statement.
