Avianca increases Paraguay flights to daily service between Asunción and Bogotá

Colombian airline Avianca is significantly boosting its presence in Paraguay, announcing a transition from three weekly flights to a daily service connecting Asunción and Bogotá. This strategic move, set to begin in late October, aims to cater to the anticipated surge in passenger demand during the upcoming summer season.

The enhanced service is a direct response to persistent requests from frequent travelers and the local tourism industry, who have long advocated for greater schedule flexibility and increased seat availability. The airline plans to utilize Airbus A320 aircraft for these routes, each capable of carrying 180 passengers, thereby substantially increasing capacity for flights to and from Paraguay's capital.

This expansion is expected to bolster Paraguay's integration with the rest of the continent and beyond. The daily flights will provide passengers with efficient and rapid connections through Bogotá's El Dorado Airport hub to a global network of more than 80 destinations across 25 countries in the Americas and Europe. This improved connectivity aims to bypass the often time-consuming and costly layovers previously required in other South American cities.

David Alemán, Avianca's sales director for South America, highlighted that the decision to increase flights stems from the positive reception of their services in Paraguay and the country's strategic importance within the southern region. He confirmed that tickets for the new daily flights are already available for purchase, signaling a strong commitment from Avianca to the Paraguayan market.

This operational expansion directly responds to the good reception from the local public and Paraguay's positioning as a strategic market within the southern region.
