Avianca announced about 2,500 additional seats between August 11 and 13 to Cali, Armenia and Quibdó. The increase is intended to maintain connectivity with affected areas and comes with ticket measures covering several airports.
Additional flights and a larger aircraft
The plan includes extra frequencies and replacing an Airbus A320 with a Boeing 787 on a key route. The sources reviewed do not provide a complete flight list or guarantee availability on every link.
The roughly 2,500 seats cover August 11 to 13. They are not a count of people already carried.
Priority announced for responders and aid
The airline says it is coordinating with authorities and social organisations to prioritise rescuers, response teams, medical staff, supplies and aid from Colombia or abroad.
The announcement describes capacity and coordination; it does not establish a specific volume of aid already delivered by Avianca.
Options for travellers
For tickets through August 16 to or from Pereira, Armenia, Cali and Quibdó, Avianca allows rebooking up to fifteen days without a penalty or fare difference, rerouting through common points or a full refund of unused segments.
The options remain subject to availability and booking conditions. Travellers should verify flight status and official channels before heading to the airport.
Two separate aviation operations
The passenger-seat increase is separate from the nearly 60-ton cargo flight announced that evening for Cali. One concerns connectivity and tickets; the other is a humanitarian shipment still being prepared.
Useful follow-up information will include frequencies actually operated, available capacity and any changes caused by airport conditions.
