Wingo launches Santo Domingo – Panama with two weekly frequencies

The Wingo airline made its inaugural flight between Santo Domingo and Panama last Thursday, November 24, with a frequency of two weekly flights, on Thursday and Sunday.

It is the first time that a low-cost airline offers the connection, which will land at the Panama Pacifico Airport, located just 15 minutes from downtown Panama City and close to the Río Hato hotel zone.

In total, Wingo, as a low-cost airline, has made available to Dominicans about 3,000 seats per month between both routes. The flights will be operated in modern Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft, which have a capacity of 186 passengers. Fares for this route start at USD 103 each way.

With the takeoff, Wingo already reaches five routes in the Dominican Republic, which shows the importance of said market for the airline.

“We celebrate a new milestone in our operation in the Dominican Republic, specifically in Santo Domingo, with the inauguration of our third route to Panama. With the five routes that we currently offer in this Caribbean country, Wingo offers more than 40 flights per week, which represents close to 35,000 seats per month for travelers interested in visiting the country, as well as for Dominicans who wish to travel to Medellín, Bogotá or Panama at low cost. Our commitment to this territory and to continue contributing to its development and economy will continue in 2023,” said Jorge Jiménez, Wingo’s commercial and planning director.

Meanwhile, Mónika Infante, CEO of (Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom), stated that “we are happy and proud to be able to offer, together with Wingo, this new route to Panama. This new operation will support the growth of passenger traffic at our airports and It brings us closer to the goal of transforming our country into a new regional hub that provides travel opportunities to multiple destinations.”

In addition to the recently inaugurated route, Wingo offers flights to Medellín and Bogotá from the International Airport of the Americas, in Santo Domingo, and from the Punta Cana International Airport.
