Avianca records 70% increase in passenger traffic in Brazil
In the first half of the year, Avianca reported transporting 270,000 passengers between Brazil and Colombia, marking a 70% increase compared to the first half of 2022.
This surge is partly attributed to a 40% uptick in the Colombian airline’s flights during the same timeframe.
Cities including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Manaus, and Belo Horizonte now have flights directed towards Bogotá.
Avianca connects 71 destinations across 24 countries in the Americas and Europe from its central hub.
Avianca’s country officer for Brazil, Gustavo Esusy, remarked on the company’s network expansion and introducing new routes to Belo Horizonte and Manaus.
He believes this, combined with the airline’s operational discipline in Brazil, indicates that their business model transformation is effective.
The changes have enabled more individuals to opt for air travel, providing punctuality, safety, and options for over 70 global destinations.
Esusy added that the airline made strategic progress in the past two years.
This includes streamlining their fleet with Airbus 320 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner selections, swiftly reconfiguring their A320 planes to increase capacity by 20%, and reducing carbon footprint per passenger by up to 15.35%.
Avianca updated its offerings to provide greater flexibility, customization, and competitive pricing for its Brazilian customers.
