History

Copa said in 2016, that Wingo would be led by Catalina Bretón, a former JetBlue and Avianca executive, and that Eduardo Lombana, the CEO of Copa Colombia, would be in charge of the airline's administration, finance and operations.[2] Copa said Wingo would use four Boeing 737-700s previously used by Copa, would fly under Copa Colombia's call sign and codes, and would mostly take over Copa Colombia's routes, adding flights from Bogotá and Medellín to Panama Pacifico International Airport.[2] The new company would offer one class of seats and would charge for baggage, food and beverages, seat assignments, and priority boarding.[2]

Wingo commenced operations on December 1, 2016, with a flight from Bogotá to Cancún.[4]
