Avianca Brazil Part 2: new international expansion phase begins with four routes and new A330 fleet

Avianca Brazil is pursuing ambitious international expansion with the launch of four international routes in less than six months, starting with the 23-Jun-2017 commencement of services from São Paulo to Miami. The airline previously only operated one international route - a niche, once weekly A319 service from Fortaleza in northern Brazil to Bogotá in Colombia.

Avianca Brazil plans to launch a third international route, from São Paulo to Santiago, in early Aug-2017. The decision to add Santiago and use its newly acquired two class A330s to operate at least one daily São Paulo-Santiago flight was driven by a request from Star Alliance members seeking improved offline access to Chile.

Avianca intends to launch a third widebody international route, which will be announced in Jul-2017, by the end of 2017. It also plans to launch a new narrowbody international route in Sep-2017 - from Salvador in northern Brazil to Bogotá.
