The world's second oldest Airline - Avianca, a member of the Avianca/TACA Alliance - has announced plans to initiate direct, non-stop service between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Bogota International Airport (BOG). Beginning this summer, the new service will connect the two destinations with service four times per week.
This expanded service is good for both business and tourist travel between our markets. Approximately 70,500 Colombian's live in the Central Florida area. With service now available on Avianca, passengers will have access to numerous Central and South American markets including Caracas, Lima, Quito, Guayaquil, Sao Paulo, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, Cali, Cartagena, and Medellin.
Avainca is one of four airlines who have recently announced that they will initiate operations at Orlando International Airport this summer. The others are Air France, Caribbean Airlines, and Edelweiss Air. Altogether this increased international traffic brings with it an estimated local economic impact of nearly $90 million.
Orlando International Airport has more non-stop domestic service than any other airport in Florida and offers service to 25 non-stop international destinations.
