A Avianca announced that it will request the aeronautical authorities of Colombia and Brazil to operate a new direct route between Brasília and Bogotá for the end-of-year season.

 

"Colombia and Brazil are two of the most relevant airline markets on the continent. Added to this, Bogotá and Brasília are two of the most relevant hubs in Latin America. That's why we are studying the possibility of continuing to connect more customers, strengthening our cargo operation, promoting tourism and business not only between Colombia and Brazil, but also with our network of more than 75 destinations in 25 countries.s”, stated Frederico Pedreira, CEO and president of Avianca.

 

Avianca's frequencies would complement those requested by GOL for this same route. Currently, both airlines have connections interline and a codeshare agreement with more than 80 routes and more than 60 destinations, which allows customers to connect between both companies' networks.

 

The operation between Brasília and Bogotá would be a milestone for both countries, as it would allow connecting two of the main hubs from GOL and Avianca. From the two capitals, airlines operate to more than 80 destinations with more than 310 daily flights.
