AVIANCA INCREASES SERVICES TO DESTINATIONS IN THE AMERICAS

· Starting in December the Airline will increase flights between Colombia and destinations in the United States, the Caribbean and South America.

· Travelers will have 1,880 additional seats per week at their disposal to fly with Avianca to Miami, New York, Orlando, Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Havana, Rio and La Paz.

In line with its expansion and service improvement plan, Avianca will increase its services to eight destinations in the Americas, offering 1,880 extra seats per week to travelers in the international market.

The increase in the number of flights and seats per week will benefit travelers in the South-North-South corridor of the Americas, who will now have more options and flight schedules to fly to Miami, New York and Orlando (United States); Punta Cana, Santo Domingo and Havana (Caribbean), Rio and La Paz (South America).

AviancaTaca Holding’s CEO, Fabio Villegas Ramirez, noted that: “With the expansion of the service from the Avianca hub in Bogota, we aim to offer better connectivity across the length and breadth of the continent, at the same time as we maximize the advantages that the new international terminal of the Colombian capital provides”.

Avianca currently offers more than 17,000 seats per week to these destinations and with the strengthening of its network this capacity will increase by 11%.
