Air connectivity between Bogotá and Cali will experience a significant increase with 40% more weekly flights starting this month. This decision responds to the end of year season, essential for tourism and the economy of Cali.
This increase in operations in Cali is possible thanks to the incorporation of 16 additional Avianca aircraft since October, generating more flight opportunities and seats available for travelers.
The offer will go from 115 to 161 weekly frequencies, offering more than 20 daily flights and nearly 58,000 seats per week.
This initiative seeks to improve connectivity not only for those who want to reach Cali, but also for Cali residents who are looking for a better connection with the rest of the country and the continent.
The increase in flights is presented as a direct response to the growing demand and the need to facilitate travel during the end-of-year season.
A significant increase
During January and October 2023, the demand for flights between Bogotá and Cali has been increasing, reflecting an increase of 18% compared to the same period of the previous year.

In a bet by Avianca, by December there will be 161 frequencies in operation with around 58,000 seats per week available to guarantee that more people can fly. Cali, here we are and here we continue,” said Carolina Cortés, vice president of Corporate Communications at avianca.

The commitment to more flights not only contributes to the growth of tourism and the economy of Cali, but is also presented as a solution to satisfy the needs of travelers in a key season for the sector.
