History


The peculiarity of Avianca Holdings' new strategy is that flights are not routed through an airline hub, but from point-to-point.[2] In return, Avianca is gradually withdrawing from the regional centers and intends to serve only important national and international destinations in the future.[3]

Flight operations will be carried out exclusively on a fleet of ATR 72-600s, a twin-engine turboprop, short-haul cargo and passenger regional airliner. This type of aircraft fits with regional airports with shorter runways and a more limited aviation infrastructure.

Avianca Holdings received Aerocivil's air traffic approval for the Colombian regional market in February 2018.[4]

From March 1, 2019, Regional Express Américas embarked on regional routes from Bogotá to cities such as Manizales, Florencia, Villavicencio, Yopal, Neiva, Ibagué, and Popayán; and also from Cali to Pasto and Tumaco. Since August 2019 it also flies between Bucaramanga and Cartagena.

The airline, previously known under its working title Regional Express Américas, received its final name Avianca Express in mid-February 2020.

On March 30, 2020, Avianca Express started operating at Olaya Herrera Airport in Medellín, which Avianca had not served in 20 years, with connections to Quibdó, Montería and Bucaramanga. Apart from this, a new flight plan came into force, which included improvements to connections to and from Bogotá, and also a new connection to Barrancabermeja.
