Canadians are drawn to explore Colombia's year-round tropical climate, especially our culture, and abundant natural wealth, and this is why we celebrate flourishing air connectivity between Canada and Colombia, which provides travelers with the opportunity to explore the magic of both nations. With this new Avianca flight, we want travelers from Montreal to see Colombia as a trendy destination with unparalleled beauty, and meaningful travel experiences that leave both tourists and locals touched forever, said Carmen Caballero, president of ProColombia, the promotion agency of Colombia.
On the other hand, Stéphane Lapierre, Vice President, Airport Operations and Air Services Development, ADM said:
ADM Aéroports de Montréal is delighted to welcome the world’s second oldest airline to YUL for the first time. With the addition of avianca to the list of airlines operating at YUL, our passengers will have the opportunity to board a flight that will take them directly to Bogotá, offering them additional access to South and Central America. For an international airport like ours, this is great news, especially as this route will offer arrivals and departures at less busy times of the day, which fits perfectly with one of our recent strategies for developing our air services. It’s a great announcement to get 2024 off to a good start.
