BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian airlines Avianca and Latam Colombia have announced that they will be resuming most of their flights on Tuesday and returning to full schedules by Wednesday. This decision comes after both airlines had warned of potential flight cancellations due to shortages of jet fuel.
Avianca confirmed that the main supplier of jet fuel in the nation has lifted restrictions on fuel supply to airlines. This development has allowed Avianca to resume ticket sales for all routes and proceed with its planned flights. On the other hand, Latam Colombia stated that it will be back to normal operations by Wednesday and has already reassigned passengers from cancelled Tuesday flights to alternative flights on the same day. Earlier on Monday, Latam Colombia had announced the cancellation of 36 flights due to fuel shortages.
