Balance of the first month of national operations

After a month of having reactivated the country’s air operation under the strictest biosecurity protocols, Avianca has transported more than 136,000 passengers on more than 1,330 flights.

Currently, the airline offers a network of 21 national destinations, so that it has managed to connect cities such as Bogotá, Cali, Barranquilla, Medellín, Cartagena, Santa Marta, San Andrés and from today begins the operation of flights to and from Bogotá to Armenia, Corozal, Barrancabermeja, Yopal, Florencia, Ibagué, Manizales, Neiva, Popayán, Riohacha and Villavicencio.

It is important to emphasize that the resumption of the operation will be gradual and at the same time the number of flights approved by the authorities is limited. Therefore, the availability of seats depends on the authorized capacity.
