Today, Colombian low-cost carrier Viva confirmed the launch of five new domestic routes connecting the popular Caribbean vacation destinations of Cartagena and San Andrés island (above photo) with the Colombian cities of Pereira, Barranquilla, and Bucaramanga, bringing its current domestic route total to 30.

“With the start of operations of these five new routes, we added 13 Viva destinations within Colombia, we strengthened our itineraries and expanded our network of domestic connections. We are building a solid base in the country, and we are reaffirming ourselves as the ‘king of the beaches’ in our seat offering, and we are giving more opportunities to travelers from intermediate cities to enjoy more places in Colombia,” said Alexander Cipagauta, Director of Airports and the Viva Operations Control Center.
