  • Yet another Colombian start up airline

    Flight Global details plans for another start up Colombian airline. La Nueva Aerolinea (LNA) (which translates "The new airline", just talk about an original name) is set to start operations late this year. Funny enough it has almost same acronym as LAN. Juan Posada, former CEO of the defunct ACES and Alianza Summa (Avianca + Aces) is set to be the CEO of the new venture.



    Makes me wonder where the Colombian market has room for that many local airlines:

    Avianca, LAN Colombia (Aires), Easy Fly, Copa Airliners Colombia (Aerorepública), and now LNA. Oasis Air was set to initiate operations hand on hand with LAN Colombia; but after LAN took over Aires seems thoswe plans are now scrapped.

    I know the Colombian market is growing at a healthy pace, but maybe a bit too much competition. Plus, sadly, the airport infrastructure is lagging way behind the airline market.
