Avianca to Launch New Routes Connecting Florida and Latin America in 2025
Avianca has announced plans to launch new routes in 2025, strengthening connectivity between Florida and Latin America. The airline will introduce direct flights from Fort Lauderdale to Medellin and Managua, Miami to San José and Guatemala City, and Tampa to Bogotá.
These additions will bring Avianca’s total to 16 direct routes from Florida to Latin America, reinforcing its position as a leading carrier in the region.
“Florida has historically been a key gateway for connections to Latin America, which is why it is essential for us to contribute to reuniting families, boosting tourism, and promoting business,” said Frederico Pedreira, CEO of Avianca. “These new routes address the needs of our customers and provide an opportunity to offer more direct flights to key destinations in both regions where we already have a strong presence.”
New Routes Planned for 2025:
- Bogotá – Tampa
- Medellín – Fort Lauderdale
- San José – Miami
- Guatemala City – Miami
- San Salvador – Managua – Fort Lauderdale
Tampa, a new destination for Avianca, will offer travelers direct connections to over 75 destinations across the Americas and Europe via Bogotá. “The significance of a new Avianca route between Tampa and Bogotá is enormous, being TPA’s first to South America in nearly 50 years,” said TPA CEO Joe Lopano. “We expect this flight to be popular with both business travelers and those connecting with loved ones.”
Carmen Caballero, President of ProColombia, added, “This new direct flight between Tampa Bay and Bogotá not only strengthens connectivity between Colombia and the United States, our primary source market for tourists, but also marks an important step in expanding our presence in Florida.”
