The Colombian carrier returns to Venezuela starting September 1, citing a completed operational and security assessment.

Avianca announced on August 28, 2026, that it will resume daily flights between Bogotá and Caracas starting September 1, and opened a new daily route to Maracaibo the same day.[^1]

The Caracas resumption follows what Avianca, part of Grupo Abra, described as a comprehensive operational and security assessment.[^3] The Bogotá-Maracaibo service operates under flight numbers AV94 and AV95.[^5]

The read here is that naming a formal assessment before returning to Venezuela is notable: it signals the airline put the decision through a structured review rather than treating it as a routine reactivation. Whether that reflects concerns about conditions on the ground or standard protocol for any long-suspended route, the facts do not say.
