Satena is basket case airline

God this airline sucks - I take back previous (old) posts where i said they were ok. This is the third time in a row they have significantly changed the departure time of the plane at the last minute - not mentioning the further departure delays experienced at the airport.

If I miss Duran Duran I will be at #$$%%^%^

Cheap airline (150 k med to bog isnt to bad for Colombia prices) and arrives in medellin apt in the centre of town - but if u decide to take ,it make sure you allow plenty of fudge factor!!!

Well the problem with medellín airports is that they close every now and then, for not to say almost everyday bc of the weather, maybe that can be the problem..... Hope that you don´t miss your concert!!!

Me too; - starting to rain so hope its not the weather!!! I will still use the airline in the future; just not when I have connections or things I have to do that day!!

well they are state-owned. That says it all. But they have nice aircrafts (Embraer) but yes, you never know when they will actually leave. I use them when I have no other choice (like Puerto Inirida). Well worth having a name/number to ask for actual departure time, but even that is not always reliable.

It's a subsidiary of the Colombian Air Force. Primary purpose is to provide service to cities no generally serviced by the regular airlines. We fly them occasionally and have never had a real problem.

Satena is to Colombia what Aserca is to Veneuela. Aserca-once a week flight Caracas-Damascus-Tehran. LOL
