Avianca is opening up two new direct routes to Central America from Florida later this spring, adding increased connections for U.S. travelers to Central America. Beginning May 10, flights will start between Miami International Airport (MIA) and Guatemala City (GUA) and operate daily. That same day Avianca will also launch a new route between Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Managua (MGA), Nicaragua.
“We are excited to launch this new direct route,” said Rolando Damas, Avianca’s Sales Director for North America, Central America, Europe, and the Caribbean in a statement to Travel + Leisure. «Guatemala, located at the heart of the Mayan civilization, is a country full of history, with a rich biodiversity that makes it a top destination in the region.”
Both of the new routes will open up more than 2,500 new seats each between destinations. Flights between Miami and Guatemala will run using Airbus A320 aircraft. The news of the new routes comes quickly after an announcement earlier in the year of new itineraries between Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Bogotá.
“Avianca is committed to strengthening its network and providing travelers with more options,” said Damas also said.
Beginning March 30, Avianca will add new routes between Tampa (TPA) and Bogotá (BOG), Medellín (MDE) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and San José (Costa Rica) and Miami (MIA).
