New Routes: Battle for Colombia Heating Up
Under pressure from JetBlue, Spirit and US Airways, Delta isn't surrendering its lock on Colombia without a fight. The carrier hopes to add daily service from JFK to Bogota as well as service from Atlanta to both Cali and Medellin. It already serves those cities from Miami and New York, and can only expand with Department of Transportation approval.
Delta will be going head-to-head with American Airlines, which begins offering even more service to Colombia this Thursday. All of American's new flights are out of Miami, though the airline has lots of connections to New York City.
With all the new flight options opening up, we'd like to predict an increase in leisure travel to Bogota, Cali and Medellin. But we need to see a few more articles about sophistonauts before we declare Colombia the hottest destination of 2008.
