Avianca inaugurated a new daily route between Bogota and Maracaibo, Venezuela, on August 28, and resumed daily flights between Bogota and Caracas on September 1, following an operational and safety evaluation coordinated with authorities.[^1][^2] The airline will operate both routes with Airbus A320 aircraft carrying 180 passengers, providing more than 7,500 weekly seats between Colombia and Venezuela.[^3]

The Bogota-Caracas route runs daily in both directions, with flight AV122 departing Bogota at 11:20 p.m. and arriving in Caracas at 2:25 a.m.[^4] The Bogota-Maracaibo route also operates daily, with flight AV94 departing Bogota at 3:05 p.m. and arriving in Maracaibo at 5:40 p.m.[^5]

Latam Airlines Colombia will reopen its Bogota-Caracas route on September 4 with three weekly frequencies on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, fewer than the seven frequencies offered before the earthquake.[^6] Érika Zarante, CEO of Latam Airlines Colombia, stated that Venezuela is a relevant market due to its dynamics and connection potential with the rest of the region.[^7]
