MIA welcomes back Cartagena service by Avianca Airlines
Officials from Miami-Dade County and Avianca Airlines celebrated the re-launch of Avianca’s daily Cartagena-Miami service on March 28 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Miami International Airport.
Cartagena became Avianca’s fifth Colombian route and 10th route overall at MIA. Colombia is the busiest international passenger market for MIA, generating 1.5 million passengers annually. With service to nine routes from Miami, including four destinations in Colombia, Avianca served more than 700,000 total passengers at MIA last year. Avianca joins American Airlines in providing Cartagena-Miami service.
Miami International Airport, America’s busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investment of $14 billion in capital improvements and maintenance upgrades. MIA offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is also the leading economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, generating business revenue of $212 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
