San Salvador, February 1st, 2021
Avianca announced that it will operate the San Salvador-Ontario* (Southern California) route starting next July, with 3 weekly frequencies on Airbus A319 aircraft, providing passengers with 2,880 seats per month. With this route, the airline expands its connectivity offer between Central America and the West Coast of the United States, as it currently has flights to cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

While the consequences of the coronavirus in aviation still force airlines to adjust and review their connectivity offer, after a market analysis, Avianca has identified a positive operational opportunity between San Salvador and Ontario, so ticket sales are now available on Avianca.com, MyAvianca mobile application, Call Center, Avianca’s points of sale and travel agencies. 

"After the resumption of air operations in different markets we see that the travel segment that is being reactivated the most is the one for visiting family and relatives and, in that sense, Ontario becomes an ideal option for many Central American passengers who prefer to arrive at an airport closer to certain areas in California and, on the other hand, San Salvador is a perfect connecting point for other places in Latin America. We are pleased with this news and we are also aware that the route network must be increasingly flexible due to the uncertainty we are experiencing in the region," said Rolando Damas, Avianca's Managing Director for North America.

The itineraries for the San Salvador-Ontario* route are as follows:

*Operation subject to government approval
**Local time
