Avianca will launch a thrice-weekly nonstop service between Belém (BEL) and Bogotá (BOG) on 28 October, the airline confirmed in a press briefing carried by Diário do Pará on **23 October 2025**. The Airbus A320 flights—operating Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays—mark the first direct link between Pará’s capital and Colombia, cutting journey times by at least four hours compared with current one-stop options via São Paulo.
Belém airport operator NOA Airports framed the route as part of a larger push to turn the city into the "gateway to the Amazon" ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) scheduled for 2026. With onward connections to more than 30 destinations in the Americas and Europe, the service bolsters cargo and passenger flows for mining, agribusiness and eco-tourism sectors in northern Brazil.
For mobile workforces, the new flight offers a same-day itinerary between Bogotá’s Andean tech clusters and Belém’s growing renewable-energy projects. Colombian citizens already enjoy visa-free entry to Brazil for short stays, and Brazilians can enter Colombia visa-free for up to 90 days, making the route attractive for agile project teams.
Travel-management companies expect competitive fares, as Avianca will go head-to-head with LATAM’s two-stop offerings via Lima or São Paulo. NOA Airports is negotiating further international services—rumoured destinations include Panama City and Miami—aimed at positioning Belém as a secondary hub to São Paulo-Guarulhos for Amazon-bound traffic.
