LAN Colombia Launches Miami-Bogota Service
LAN Colombia launched service today between Miami International Airport and Bogota, Colombia. The airline will operate four flights per week onboard modern Boeing Airbus A320 aircraft with connections to 22 destinations in Colombia including Cartagena, Medellin, Cali, Pereira, and Monteria.
The new service offers passengers more opportunities to discover Colombia with LAN's signature service, which includes complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, wine and spirits in-flight, as well as Juan Valdez premium coffee.
Passengers onboard today's LAN Colombia inaugural flights were surprised when Juan Valdez® was on-hand to kick-off service of his coffee in person. LAN Colombia is currently the second largest airline in Colombia with 23% market share and an unparalleled network of domestic destinations in the country.
LAN Airlines and its affiliates recently signed an agreement with Juan Valdez® Cafe, the iconic premium coffee brand owned by Colombian growers, to serve their signature coffee onboard all international and some domestic flights operated by LAN Airlines and its affiliates beginning today.
LAN and its affiliates currently transport over 22 million passengers each year. Given that number, they estimate that about 13 million cups of Juan Valdez® coffee will be served on board these flights each year.
LAN Colombia began operations on December 5, 2011. The launch of the new LAN Colombia was marked by the declaration of a partnership between LAN Colombia and ProExport, a government entity in charge of promoting exports, foreign investment and tourism to and within Colombia.
