Avianca has strategically strengthened its operations between Colombia and Argentina by upgrading its Bogota–Cordoba route to daily service. Alongside this operational expansion, the airline announced at the International Tourism Trade Fair (FIT) major enhancements to its Economy Cabin inclusions, as well as the planned evolution of its premium product.
Frequency Expansion and Schedules on the Bogota–Cordoba Route
Service connecting the Colombian capital with the Argentine province has increased from three weekly flights to daily operations (seven weekly frequencies), operated by Airbus A320 aircraft in a 180-seat configuration.
With this capacity boost, the carrier is adding more than 2,500 weekly seats to the route, streamlining passenger and cargo traffic through its hub at Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport (BOG).
Flight Schedules and Timings
- Flight AV138: Departs Cordoba (COR) at 07:25 and arrives in Bogota (BOG) at 11:25 (daily operation).
- Flight AV139: Departs Bogota (BOG) at 22:15 and arrives in Cordoba (COR) at 06:20 the following day (daily operation).
“The frequency increase on the Bogota–Cordoba route represents a major commitment by Avianca to this market and to our customers’ connectivity. It also underscores Colombia’s strategic role as a hub offering connections to more than 80 destinations across Colombia, the Americas, and Europe. By shifting to daily service, we are not only providing greater choice and flexibility for travelers in both nations, but also driving bilateral trade, tourism, culture, and business,” said David Aleman, Avianca’s Sales Director for Colombia and South America.
