With three weekly frequencies, flights depart at 5:55 am from São Paulo International Airport (GRU) every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday to Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG). The return to GRU takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 19:55 pm.

The objective of an “Avianca for all” is already a reality, according to Esusy. “We are committed to making sure that more and more Brazilians can visit the best destinations in Colombia”, complete.
“The direct route to Cartagena is one of the most desired by GRU Airport and by the domestic market. We are grateful for Avianca's trust and partnership, and we are certain that this is a first step towards strengthening its flights. With this inauguration, GRU Airport now directly serves three cities in Colombia, which is a record”, says João Pita, commercial and cargo director at GRU Airport.
