Plus Ultra strengthens its route to Cartagena de Indias with six weekly flights

Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas has strengthened its route between Madrid and the Colombian city of Cartagena de Indias, increasing from three to six weekly flights in response to the rise in demand recorded in the last quarter of 2025.

The increase in frequencies follows a notable rise in passengers whose final destination is Central America and the Caribbean and who use Cartagena de Indias as a connecting hub. From there, Plus Ultra travelers can connect with flights operated by regional airlines serving various short-haul routes.

With this reinforcement, Plus Ultra increases connectivity between Spain and Colombia, a country with which it currently operates two regular routes to Bogotá and Cartagena de Indias. In addition to the six weekly frequencies to Cartagena operated by the Spanish airline based at Madrid’s Adolfo Suárez–Barajas Airport, there are three more weekly flights to Bogotá operated by its Airbus A330 fleet, bringing the total to nine weekly frequencies.

According to Plus Ultra, this route reinforcement:

“responds to the needs of our passengers and to our commitment to continue offering efficient connectivity solutions between Spain and Latin America. Cartagena has established itself as a strategic hub that allows us to maintain passenger flows in a complex operating environment.”

During 2025, the airline has also increased frequencies to Peru, where Lima now has six weekly flights, with the short-term goal of operating daily services. In addition, Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas will connect Madrid with Ezeiza Airport in Buenos Aires four times a week starting in June.
