History

The airline was founded in 2006 by Alfonso Ávila and other partners. Its first aircraft have been acquired through the leasing system. After having 9 approved routes, operations began on October 10, 2007, with only two routes: Barrancabermeja and Arauca from Bogotá.

Between November 2007 and January 2008, new routes were inaugurated to the cities of Armenia, Cartago, Yopal, Ibague and Villavicencio.

During 2010, 7 aircraft entered the fleet and in 2012 a new base was inaugurated at Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport.

In 2019, the British Aerospace Jetstream 41 left the fleet and gave way to a fleet entirely composed of ATRs.

Accidents and incidents

• On March 26, 2012, EasyFly Flight 8697, a British Aerospace Jetstream 41, presented a hydraulic fluid spill during the flight. The aircraft landed without complications in José María Córdoba International Airport. The causes of the incident are being investigated.[4]
• On October 15, 2020, EasyFly Flight 9069, an ATR 42-600 (registered HK-5310) collided with a jet bridge at Palonegro International Airport. It is speculated that it was a brake failure, however the aircraft was approaching in a prohibited trajectory for this type of turboprop aircraft. According to Caracol Radio, "an irregular procedure by the pilot" caused the incident, there were no injuries.[5]

Legal Action

In 2018 easyGroup, licensor of the easyJet brand began legal proceedings against EasyFly and Honduras-based EasySky over use of the "easy" prefix.[6]

An unconnected Dhaka-based cargo airline, Easy Fly Express, branded as "easyFly" was also pursued by easyGroup. In April 2019, EasyGroup statement focused on this case indicated a claim against Colombia's EasyFly was ongoing.[7]
