Colombian flag carrier Avianca will launch the only scheduled non-stop link between South America and Boston's Logan International Airport when it inaugurates a new four times weekly link from its El Dorado International Airport hub in Bogotá from the start of June 2017.
The Gulf carrier is both the world’s strongest and most valuable brand, with an increase of 17 percent from 2015. Emirates brand value is weighted at $7,743 million.
This will be the only regular link between Bogota and Barbados and will support the increasing interest from Latin American tour operators in providing holiday packages into more Caribbean markets. Avianca already offers charter flights into the Caribbean with links to Aruba, Curaçao, Cancun, Punta Cana, Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico.
Every month Routesonline provides an update on the current schedules of five latest aircraft programmes, highlighting the routes the types are being deployed upon.
The airline has been offering a service on the Bogota – Barcelona route since June 2006. An estimated 76,000 passengers flew on the route in the first nine months of this year, up 10.1 per cent on the same period last year, with Avianca reporting average loads of more than 85 per cent.
The spotlight is not only ready to shine on the World Cup in Latin American next year; it is also beginning to shine on the Latin American aviation market. The global aviation market is starting to wake up to the size of the opportunity in the Latin America, which was again highlighted by the latest figures from Airbus and IATA.
