Avianca Boosts Bogota – Punta Cana Schedule

Colombian national carrier Avianca is to introduce a second weekly rotation on the Bogota – Punta Cana route from July 20. The timetable amendment is to support growing demand for traffic into the Dominican Republic, a market it also serves via Santo Domingo, where it flies four times weekly from the Colombian capital.

Avianca currently utilises an Airbus A319 on its weekly rotation to Punta Cana, a route it carried an estimated 4,500 O&D passengers in the past year, but will upgrade the route to a larger A320 when the second rotation commences. The airline is the only company offering direct links between Bogota and Punta Cana, a total market of around 10,000 O&D passengers. Copa Airlines dominates the traffic between the two cities via Panama City.
