Avianca Adds Second Daily Cali – Tumaco Rotation

Posted 08/06/2011

Colombian carrier Avianca has introduced a second daily flight on its domestic link between Cali and Tumaco.  There has been a large increase in passenger demand on the route over the past year as Cali, the country’s second largest city, has witnessed its own growth – the western city, the capital of the Valle del Cauca department, is one of the fastest growing economies and infrastructure within Colombia.

Avianca currently competes with SATENA on the route; the latter operating a five times weekly service using a Dornier 328 turboprop.  An estimated 31,000 O&D passengers travelled between the two cities in the past year, with the two airlines carrying a similar level of traffic.  The introduction of a second daily flight will enable better options to business travellers planning visits to Cali and onward to Bogota and more flexibility for those travelling to the port city of Tumaco, in southwestern of Colombia, near to the border with Ecuador.
