The Colombian Civil Air Force activated a contingency plan following the Panama earthquake, with Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport in Barranquilla receiving 16 flights originally destined for Panama City.
Eight of those flights departed after the gradual reopening of Panamanian airspace while the other eight were permanently cancelled, leaving more than 1,280 passengers stranded; Copa Airlines and Wingo coordinated delivery of over 600 units of water, beverages and snacks, and flights diverted to Rafael Núñez International Airport in Cartagena and Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport in San Andrés resumed, with the Santa Marta–Panama route completing its arrival at the destination.
