Avianca announced its arrival in Canada in December 2021, with the inauguration of routes from Bogota and the El Salvador capital San Salvador to Toronto.
“We arrived in Canada just over two years ago with our operation to Toronto, and today we are delighted to announce Avianca’s upcoming arrival in Montréal at the end of March as the second destination in the country,” said Rolando Damas, Director of Sales for North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
“Currently, more than 120,000 Colombians live in Canada, and over 20,000 Canadian residents visit Colombia each year. Undoubtedly, this new route will facilitate greater connections for tourists, students, and businesses between the two countries.”

Carmen Caballero, President of ProColombia, the nation’s tourism promotion entity, added:
“Canadians are drawn to explore Colombia’s year-round tropical climate, especially our culture, and abundant natural wealth, and this is why we celebrate flourishing air connectivity between Canada and Colombia, which provides travellers with the opportunity to explore the magic of both nations.
With this new Avianca flight, we want travelers from Montreal to see Colombia as a trendy destination with unparalleled beauty, and meaningful travel experiences that leave both tourists and locals touched forever.”
