With the presence of Enrique Stellabatti – Executive Director of ProColombia Canada, Martin Massé, VP Public Affairs of Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, Carlos Arturo Morales - Ambassador of Colombia to Canada, Rolando Damas - Sales Director for North America, Central America, and the Caribbean at Avianca, and Luz Estela Jara - Consul of Colombia in Montreal, the ribbon was cut for the inaugural Avianca flight AV201 on 3 April. Canadians now have the perfect opportunity to experience the South American country firsthand, beginning their journey in the captivating capital city of Bogotá.
Avianca has expanded its international operations with four weekly frequencies between Bogotá and Montreal, the capital of Quebec, Canada. Flights depart from Montreal on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 11:25 PM, while flights from Bogota depart at 2:20 PM for Montreal.
Colombia is experiencing a historic moment in its tourism industry, so it is no wonder Canadians are drawn to explore this country’s year-round tropical climate, as well as its culture, its gastronomy, and its immense natural wealth.
Carmen Caballero, president of ProColombia, the nation’s promotion agency, celebrated the flourishing air connectivity between Canada and Colombia, and stated that “this new Avianca flight allows more travelers to explore the magic of both nations. We invite people from Montreal to visit Colombia and see why our country is a trendy destination with unparalleled beauty and meaningful travel experiences for all”.
Similarly, ADM Aéroports de Montréal is delighted about this new direct flight to Bogotá from Montréal and welcomes Avianca to the growing YUL family. “This route offers our passengers additional options for direct access to the capital of Colombia. It’s also a new gateway to South and Central America and it is great news for Québec’s Latino community”, said Yves Beauchamp, President, and CEO of ADM.
Bogotá’s Calling
The capital city of Colombia remains the heart of the Andes mountains because of its diversity and cultural fusion. The city serves as a melting pot, welcoming people from every corner of the country and resulting in a vibrant and multicultural atmosphere.
For those Canadians eager to uncover Colombia's history, Bogotá provides an immersive journey through time. Beyond the bustling cityscape, Bogotá opens the door to a world of natural wonders and villages. From the awe-inspiring Zipaquira salt cathedral to the mystical allure of Guatavita Lake, each destination promises an unforgettable adventure.
