Avianca has announced plans to introduce five new routes to the United States, expanding its services to Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Tampa. The Colombian airline shared this development on Facebook on December 27, stating its intention to commence flights from Bogota El Dorado International Airport to Tampa International Airport, Medellín Jose Maria Cordova International Airport to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Managua Augusto C. Sandino International Airport to Fort Lauderdale, San Jose Juan Santamaria International Airport to Miami International Airport, and Guatemala City La Aurora International Airport to Miami.
The launch of these routes is pending governmental approval. Currently, Avianca's booking engine does not list these new itineraries. For instance, travelers can currently book a one-stop itinerary between Tampa and Bogota with a stop in Fort Lauderdale operated by Silver Airways using ATR 42 aircraft. Similarly, the Medellín to Fort Lauderdale route includes a stop in Bogota and is flown by Avianca's Airbus A320 aircraft starting in April.
During a media session in December, Avianca CEO Frederico Pedreira hinted at the upcoming announcement of new routes to Florida. Pedreira noted that while their US-bound network began slowly in 2024, it gained momentum as the year progressed. He emphasized that Avianca's current cost structure allows profitability on routes that were previously unprofitable.
