Avianca is the flag carrier of Colombia and is headquartered in Bogota. With 102 years of flying uninterrupted, Avianca is the world’s second-oldest carrier. Now, Avianca connects the world to Latin America and offers an extensive network with 116 routes and more than 3,400 weekly flights and more than 515,000 seats per week.

Recently, Avianca announced the addition of 23 new direct routes to build off its core and popular destinations including Bogotá, Medellín, Quito, Cali, Guatemala City, Aruba, Mexico City, San Jose, Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, and Toronto.

Avianca has been on a mission to improve operations, quality, and experience. It has redesigned its fare classes to fit the needs of its travellers today offering a range of features and services in its XS to XXL model.

To future-proof its fleet needs, improve passenger comfort, and reduce environmental impact, Avianca has selected the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft as its only widebody aircraft type for long-haul flights. Avianca is also retrofitting its A320 planes with new seats for Premium, Plus, and Economy that will be available on short and medium-haul flights.

“The way of traveling is changing, and we are finding that our travellers  are purchasing cheaper fares, customising their trips, and accessing the most value: LifeMiles, Avianca Lounge and our service. Part of this change involves joining the global trend and implementing New Distribution Capability (NDC). For our NDC programme to be successful, it is important to work with key allies like Duffel, with whom we can offer a solid product for travel agencies and merchants across the world.”
Catalina Nannig, Vice President of Distribution and Sales, Avianca.
