June 17, 2022

  • Starting from july 15th, the airline will have a 48-passenger aircraft, in order to expand capacity and thus maintain quality service.

  • Currently, the aircrafts have capacity for 19 people.

  • After the pandemic and Hurricane Iota, which hit the archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, economic reactivation has become a challenge for all the actors that are part of trade and tourism in this island territory

    For this reason, after the announcement by the National Government on the delivery of El Embrujo de Providencia Airport, during the next month of July, SATENA will reactivate flights between San Andrés and Providencia, making some improvements in its operation and capacity, and in this way maintain quality service.

    According to the president of SATENA, Major General Luis Carlos Córdoba, "Starting from july 15th, there will be an aircraft for 44 passengers, which will cover the routes San Andrés - Providencia and Providencia - San Andrés, offering between two and three daily flights to the island and from it, which translates into more than 300% capacity, which will allow more availability of seats, both for Raizales, as well as for national tourists, foreigners, corporate clients, among others. Moreover, all our clients will enjoy the SATENA experience with a larger and more comfortable aircraft in addition to a free baggage allowance of 15 kilos”.

    With this increase in capacity, SATENA provides important support to the island, allowing tourism to quickly become more dynamic and thus help the recovery of the hotel and tourism sector in the archipelago.

    The archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina is a perfect tourist destination to enjoy the beach, practice water sports, dive and do ecotourism. From the plane, the business card is the sea of seven colors, which is home to colorful fish and corals teeming with life that delight travelers. In addition, the hotel infrastructure and Caribbean cuisine make this island territory a place for family vacations. For this reason, local authorities, merchants and companies, such as SATENA, work hand in hand so that these islands reactivate economically and get back on track, overcoming the adversities left by the pandemic and Hurricane Iota.
