Bogota - El Dorado International Airport

This week: Avianca to launch a fourth destination in Europe, Air New Zealand adds to US network, and Malindo Air files preliminary Melbourne schedule.

This week: British Airways returns to the Seychelles after a 13-year absence and Avior Airlines picks up Caracas-Bogota route.

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 point-to-point business model of the start-up will be supported with a simple organisational structure to maintain low operating costs and deliver low fares and a customised offering to consumers with ancillary charges for hold baggage, seating selection and boarding as well as food and drinks.

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.

The US adventure will start from December 2, 2015 with the start of the Medellin – Miami route and followed from December 16, 2015 by the Bogota – Miami link. Both markets will be served on a four times weekly basis using Airbus A320 equipment.

Over a twelve-month period, preliminary data shows a growth rate of 5.1 percent year over year, with both international and domestic traffic posting strong growth rates of 5.8 percent and 4.5 percent respectively.

ProColombia, the new name of the tourism and promotions organisation that was ProExport Colombia, is experiencing a rise in new international flights to the country as it takes the top spot for economic growth in the region.

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.
