Avianca has announced that effective December 3, it will connect Bogota (BOG) with Toronto/Pearson (YYZ) in Canada, reaffirming its commitment to once again be a leading airline in the region.
The Colombian company confirmed the start of sale of the said link, having predicted in August that it would be one of the thirteen new international routes it will open in Colombia.
It will operate three flights a week, and will be operated by an Airbus A320 with a capacity of 150 passengers, giving it a width of 900 seats per week.
This flight joins current operations in El Salvador, which has four weekly flights to Toronto with the A319 and A320.
