Sky Airline has recently announced that it will temporarily suspend its route between Santiago from Chile and Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. Flights on this route will remain operational until 29 September 2024 inclusive. This decision is taken within the framework of a restructuring process of the airline’s international network, with the aim of optimising its operations and services.
In the statement, Sky Airline The airline regretted the inconvenience that this measure may cause to its passengers.

Passengers can reschedule their trips to another destination operated by the airline, up to 12 months after the original flight date. This option allows travelers to maintain their travel plans, even if it is to a different destination, without incurring additional costs.
Besides, Sky Airline The airline is offering the possibility of refunding the value of the ticket to the same payment method used for the purchase.
