Wingo has made 4,500 seats available to the market on the two legs of this route, with prices starting at USD 84 per leg.

The second route to start operations will be the one that connects Panama and Havana. This flight will take off for the first time on Tuesday, November 22, and will operate twice a week, on Tuesday and Saturday. In total, the airline will make available to the market about 3,000 seats per month between Panama - Havana - Panama with rates that start at USD 104 each way.

“Wingo continues to consolidate its operation in Panama by offering flights to these three Latin American capitals. We will continue with our efforts to incorporate new destinations that are attractive to Panamanians. On the other hand, the opening of these three routes allows the citizens of Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica to have a direct flight option to Panama with a competitive price alternative, with a rate reduction of close to 40% if compares it with the other options in the market”, expressed Jorge Jiménez, Commercial and Planning Director of Wingo.

For his part, the general manager of Tocumen International Airport and regional terminals, Raffoul Arab, said: "We are very excited about the simultaneous inauguration of two new routes by Wingo to Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, and to Havana, Cuba. These operations from the Panama Pacifico International Airport demonstrate confidence in Panama and our commitment to the country's economy, connectivity and tourism, by providing more and better travel options."

“Air connectivity is essential for economic development and tourism, therefore, modernizing our airport facilities is a priority for our administration. In this sense, we are developing a project to increase the capacity of the Panama Pacifico Airport to serve the growing number of aircraft and offer better passenger service,” added Arab.
