Avianca flies to new destinations: Cuzco and Tegucigalpa
Avianca, Colombia’s national airline, has announced the launch of two new routes, expanding its network to Cuzco in Peru and Tegucigalpa in Honduras. These new routes will offer direct flights where no airline currently operates.
From 30 October, Avianca will begin operating flights between Bogota and Cuzco, offering four flights a week. The flight from Bogotá will be available at 7.45am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The return flight will leave Cuzco at 4.45pm. This route will offer 1,400 seats per week, meeting the growing demand for travel between these two cities.
The following day, Avianca will begin operations on the Bogota-Tegucigalpa route. This route will operate three times a week, offering more than 1,000 seats per week. The airline will land at the new Palmerola International Airport in Honduras, due to open in 2021. Avianca already operates flights to Palmerola from Guatemala and San Salvador, offering four and ten weekly flights respectively from each of these Central American cities.
The Bogotá-Palmerola flight will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, while the return flight will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Both routes will be operated with Airbus A320 aircraft, which can accommodate 180 passengers in a single-cabin configuration offering three different seating options.
David Alemán, Avianca’s Managing Director for Central and South America, expressed his enthusiasm for the new routes, saying: “We are delighted to continue expanding our network, which now includes 144 routes to 24 countries and 71 destinations (…). From October, there will be more than 1,000 seats per week on each of these operations, allowing our customers to fly non-stop and with a product tailored to their needs.“
These new routes represent a significant expansion for Avianca, offering passengers more travel options and strengthening connections between Colombia, Peru and Honduras. The new routes are expected to boost tourism and business travel, contributing to the economic growth of the regions.
