Avianca, Colombia’s largest airline, is expanding its U.S. service with new routes starting May 10, including daily flights from Miami to Guatemala City and Fort Lauderdale to Managua, utilizing Airbus A320 aircraft. This expansion aligns with Avianca's strategy to enhance connectivity between South Florida and Central America, contributing to tourism and business opportunities. The airline has aggressively grown its presence in the U.S., increasing seats to Florida by 19% year-over-year in the first half of 2025, following a substantial growth in 2024. Meanwhile, American Airlines announced an increase in operations to Costa Rica's Guanacaste International Airport from Dallas-Fort Worth and Philadelphia, reinforcing its commitment to the region. Travelers can expect improved accessibility to these Central American destinations, with both airlines focusing on the growing demand for direct flights. Avianca's new routes are positioned to serve significant communities in the U.S. while fostering connections back to their home countries.
