Avianca<\/a>, part of Grupo <\/a>Abra<\/a>, has begun operating direct flights from Barranquilla and Cali to Fort Lauderdale<\/a>, adding two nonstop connections between Colombia and the United States.<\/p>\n The new routes connect Colombia\u2019s Caribbean region and the department of Valle del Cauca with South Florida, one of the most important destinations for Colombian travelers for tourism, business, investment, and family connections.<\/p>\n \u201cWith these routes we not only offer direct and convenient options to the United States, but we also give our customers access to a global network of more than 80 destinations in the Americas and Europe.\u201d The flights are operated with Airbus A320-family<\/a> aircraft configured for 180 passengers per flight. Operating daily, the two routes add more than 5,000 seats per week between Colombia and Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n The service began on July 15, 2026, with three of the four flight segments launching that day and the Cali\u2013Fort Lauderdale return service beginning on July 16.<\/p>\n The new schedules are:<\/p>\n Route Barranquilla \u2013 Fort Lauderdale Fort Lauderdale \u2013 Barranquilla Fort Lauderdale \u2013 Cali Cali \u2013 Fort Lauderdale All times correspond to local time at each airport.<\/p>\n The routes operate through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and provide passengers with onward access through Avianca\u2019s network of more than 80 destinations across the Americas and Europe.<\/p>\n Avianca said the expansion reflects its continued effort to strengthen international connectivity from Colombia\u2019s regions.
