COLOMBIA: Avianca And Air Europa Go Head To Head On Madrid To Bogota

Air Europa, with its new aircraft livery which focusses on the initials "AE" and a softer colour scheme, is heading into a shoot out with Colombian national carrier, Avianca, as it launches a new daily route between Madrid and Bogota.

The new route which will start 28th June 2016 and use a brand new Boeing 787-800 aircraft is part of AIr Europa's continued expansion of its transatlantic programme to Latin America.

Avianca, which is one of the world's oldest airlines already flies to Bogota from both Madrid and Barcelona and has an extensive network of onward connections from Colombia to the rest of South and Central America.
