Air Europa will open direct flights between Spanish capital Madrid and Colombia’s coastal city Cartagena de Indias, the company announced Saturday.
According to Miguel Gonzalez, Air Europa’s Colombia manager, the airliner will be flying between Madrid and Cartagena three times a week beginning December 1.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said in Cartagena he hoped the direct flights between Spain and Colombia’s northern coast will result in an increase in employment in the region.
