Columbian airline Avianca is growing its network by offering more than 126,000 flights and 22 million seats across a network of over 155 routes.

Currently in effect through March 2027, the airline will connect more than 80 destinations in over 25 countries throughout the Americas and Europe. During this period, Avianca will operate seasonal routes and increased flight frequencies in key markets across Colombia, Central America, North America, and Europe.

As part of the operation, Avianca will introduce the following seasonal routes across the Americas to include Guatemala City–Chicago, Guatemala City–San Francisco, Las Vegas–San Salvador, San Salvador–Montreal.

Seasonal routes from Cartagena include Cartagena–Santiago, Chile, starting December 15, and Cartagena–New York (JFK), starting December 16. Additionally, the seasonal Pereira–New York (JFK) route will resume operations on December 6.

Avianca plans to increase flight frequencies on more than 20 routes across its network, including domestic connections such as Bogotá–Cartagena, Bogotá–Medellín, Bogotá–Cali, Bogotá–Pereira, Bogotá–Santa Marta, Bogotá–Cúcuta, Bogotá–Barranquilla, and San Andrés–Cali, as well as international routes such as Bogotá–Asunción, Bogotá–Montevideo, Washington, D.C.–San Salvador, and Bogotá–Mexico City.

A key development will be the expanded connectivity between Avianca’s route network and Paraguay and Uruguay. Beginning the last week in October, the airline increased service between Bogotá and Asunción and between Bogotá and Montevideo. Flights operate on Airbus A320 aircraft, with a 180-passenger capacity, expanding seat availability and providing more travel options between Avianca’s route network and the Southern Cone through the airline’s hub in Bogotá.

In Europe, the airline will temporarily double its flight frequencies between Bogotá and Barcelona, providing travelers with more options to connect between Avianca’s route network and Spain during the year-end 2026 holiday season and into early 2027.  

Route and operations updates include:

  • Guatemala – Chicago: seasonal route, 7 weekly flights starting December 2
  • Guatemala - San Francisco: seasonal route, 4 weekly flights starting December 2
  • Las Vegas - San Salvador: seasonal route, 3 weekly flights starting December 1
  • San Salvador – Montreal: seasonal route, 4 weekly flights starting December 2
  • Pereira - New York (JFK): seasonal route, 4 weekly flights starting December 6
  • Cartagena - New York (JFK): seasonal route, 4 weekly flights starting December 16
  • Cartagena – Santiago: seasonal route, 3 weekly flights starting December 15
  • Bogotá – Asunción: increase from 3 to 7 weekly flights
  • Bogotá – Montevideo: increase from 4 to 7 weekly flights
  • Bogotá – Barcelona: seasonal increase from 7 to 14 weekly flights, from December 6, 2026, through January 31, 2027
