A dozen flights marked the culmination of a $75 million USD investment in the primary air travel hub for western Colombia.

Cali will get direct flights to Santa Marta, Bucaramanga, and San Andrés, while Cartagena and Medellín also get new routes to San Andrés.

Bogotá-based airline Avianca completed the first flight on its new daily route between the Colombian capital and Montevideo today.

Avianca head Hernán Rincón says the airline "will continue negotiations with United" to reach an alliance that he believes is in the best interest of the company and shareholders.

During peak summer season, from June 8 to August 14, United Airlines will make two flights per day between Newark and Bogotá.

There were no injuries to any of the four crew on board, but one of El Dorado’s runways remained closed for roughly two hours.

Avianca's filing calls Roberto Kriete of Kingsland a “disloyal director who has worked actively to undermine the company’s strategic goals.”

The labor deal between Avianca and the ODEAA "includes a substantial increase in the gross income of pilots and co-pilots," according to the airline.

The flight will depart José María Córdova each day at 12:18 pm and arrive in Montería at 1:18 pm. The return leg will leave Los Garzones Airport at 2:00 pm and land at 3:00 pm.

Though adding a strategic partner could be a positive development, Fitch Ratings views Avianca's liquidity as low.
