Aruba Airport Welcomes LATAM Airlines’ Inaugural Bogota–Aruba Service

This new service makes LATAM the third carrier operating the Bogota - Aruba route, adding to existing service by Avianca (14x weekly) and Wingo (2x weekly). It also further expands LATAM’s presence at Aruba Airport, where the airline already operates five weekly flights on the Lima–Aruba (LIM–AUA) route and currently holds a 13% share of total seat capacity from Latin America to Aruba. With the addition of three weekly Bogota flights, the market gains an extra 522 weekly seats, representing a 46% increase in available capacity compared to December 2024, further demonstrating the strong demand from Colombian travelers and LATAM’s continued growth within the Caribbean region.

The inaugural flight, operated with an Airbus A320 offering 174 seats across Premium Economy and Economy cabins, arrived at 1:20 PM. The return flight departed at 2:35 PM, connecting travelers to LATAM’s extensive South American network.

“Welcoming LATAM as the third airline on this route represents a major milestone for our airport,” said Jo-Anne Arends, Aviation Business Development Executive at Aruba Airport Authority. “With Avianca, Wingo, and now LATAM operating a combined 19 weekly flights, connectivity between Bogota and Aruba has never been stronger. LATAM’s entry adds meaningful competition while expanding travel options for both leisure and business travelers.”

LATAM will operate the service on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays through January 31, 2026, during which the route’s performance will be monitored for potential long-term inclusion in the airline’s scheduled network. In addition to passenger travel, the service provides cargo and mail capacity, further enhancing commercial opportunities between both markets.

The addition of LATAM strengthens Aruba’s air service offerings and solidifies Bogota as one of the island’s most important and fast-growing feeder markets in Latin America.
