For Rodríguez, this collaboration with Avianca represents an opportunity to showcase the culinary legacy of Colombia’s rural areas to a global audience. “This is a great opportunity to share my experience in the kitchen and the work that has been done at Mestizo Cocina de Origen, to put the culinary legacy of Colombia’s rural areas on the map,” expressed the chef about her participation in Insignia by Avianca.
Expansion of Insignia by Avianca’s Gastronomic Offerings
The airline has also expanded the availability of Álvaro Clavijo’s menu on flights from Madrid and Barcelona to Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. This decision aims to strengthen the company’s high-end culinary offerings, highlighting ingredients and traditions from both sides of the Atlantic. “Expanding the availability of the menu created by Álvaro Clavijo on routes from Spain to Colombia allows us to give greater visibility to this high-end gastronomic proposal, with a signature cuisine that highlights the traditions and ingredients from both sides of the Atlantic,” said Katherine Stradaioli, Vice President of Customer Delivery at Avianca.
A Luxury Experience Beyond the Menu
Insignia by Avianca is not only distinguished by its gastronomic offerings but also by a complete premium experience. Passengers enjoy Flatbed seats that recline fully, an exclusive Amenity Kit with cases designed by the Colombian brand Mola Sasa in collaboration with the Gunadule indigenous community, products from Loto del Sur, and a renewed international selection of wines.
With this gastronomic renewal, Avianca reinforces its commitment to excellence in commercial aviation, offering its passengers an experience that combines comfort, luxury, and high-end cuisine at thousands of meters above the ground.
