LATAM Airlines Colombia has resumed 21 weekly flights to Pereira following the reopening of Matecana International Airport, which had been shut down due to an earthquake. The airline will operate two daily flights from Bogotá and one daily from Medellín, totaling 21 weekly frequencies. The service restart follows the airport's reopening, allowing Pereira to reconnect with LATAM's domestic and international network.
