From Colombia, Avianca launches 13 new direct routes from Cali to: New York, Cancun, Mexico City, San José and Quito; from Medellín to: Aruba, Mexico City, Orlando, San José, Quito and Guayaquil; from Bucaramanga to Miami, and Bogotá will launch a direct flight to Toronto, Canada.
Viva Air CEO Felix Antelo, a native of Argentina himself, has stated publicly that the airline expects to connect North & South America “from Buenos Aires to New York” through its Medellín hub.
The Cali route joins the Bogotá – Orlando route already operated by the airline, with more than 5 weekly frequencies & 6,000+ seats, from Bogotá to Orlando.
Avianca indicated that the restrictions were necessitated by “the constant restrictions in different countries in terms of limitation of the entry of tourists, operational reductions, as well as mobility within cities, and the high uncertainty that passengers still have."
