Wingo, the low-cost Colombian subsidiary of Copa Airlines, is promoting a new route from Panama City to Santo Domingo’s Las Americas International Airport. The SDQ-BLB route starts in October 2022. The biweekly flights will be on Thursdays and Sundays. The airline is flying a Boeing 737-800 with capacity for 186 seats.
The low fares expect to develop more traffic of tourists and business people between both cities.
Wingo will depart from Panama City’s Pacifico International Airport (BLB) to Las Americas International Airport (SDQ). The flight starts at RD$103 for the Panama-Santo Domingo leg and US$81 for the Santo Domingo-Panama stretch.
Pacifico Airport (BLB) is a former US military airbase airport. Panama City has three airports – Tocumen (PTY), Albrook (PAC) and Pacifico (BLB).
The Wingo announcement coincides with the announcement of the start of flights to Central America by new Dominican low cost carrier Arajet. Arajet is based at Las Americas (SDQ).
