Volaris expands in Colombia with a new Guadalajara-Medellín route
Celebrating five years of operations in Colombia, Volaris adds scheduled flights to Medellín and totals nearly 730,000 passengers carried in Bogotá.
Volaris marks five years of commercial operations in Colombia by announcing a network expansion to Medellín. The Mexican carrier recorded approximately 5,400 flight movements and transported nearly 730,000 passengers at Bogotá’s El Dorado International Airport between October 2021 and July 2026.
Starting 2 December 2026, the airline will launch non-stop service between Guadalajara and Medellín, scheduled for three weekly frequencies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This addition broadens connections from Guadalajara, a major operating base offering links to over 20 domestic and international points, including routes to the United States.
At present, Volaris operates six weekly flights into Bogotá: four from Felipe Ángeles International Airport serving Mexico City, and two from Guadalajara. Colombia represented the company's initial South American destination, following previous services operated by its Costa Rican subsidiary between San José and Bogotá. According to airline leadership, over 65,000 travelers have utilized the updated network following recent schedule shifts to the capital's secondary hub.
