TL;DR
- Plus Ultra will temporarily suspend flights to and from Colombia on June 2, 2026.
- The airline cites economic difficulties due to the global geopolitical situation, particularly the Middle East conflict, as the reason.
- The conflict has led to historically high aviation fuel prices, doubling costs in some markets.
- In Colombia, additional factors include high taxes, airport fees, and rising operational costs.
- Fuel prices in Colombia are higher than in other regional countries.
- The airline cannot pass increased fuel costs onto already sold tickets.
- Plus Ultra will offer alternatives and refunds to affected travelers.
- The suspension is described as a responsible management decision due to current unviable route conditions.
