Avianca has temporarily opened bookings for flights between Bogota and Valencia as part of efforts to support travel for people affected by the emergency in Venezuela. The airline said the service is available at special fares and is intended to help friends, relatives and rescue organisations travel more easily.

The flights are scheduled to run initially through July 10. Avianca said the route may be extended depending on how the situation develops.

The move adds a rare direct option between the Colombian capital and the Venezuelan city at a time when access and mobility remain difficult for many travellers linked to the crisis. The airline has positioned the service as a temporary response rather than a permanent network change.

Avianca said the booking window is open for passengers who need to make the journey while the emergency continues. The carrier did not give details on frequency, aircraft type or the number of seats made available on the route.

Special fares are part of the offer, though Avianca did not publish the exact ticket prices in the information provided. The emphasis, according to the airline, is on helping people connected to the emergency reach family members, support networks and humanitarian partners.

The temporary route reflects a wider pattern in aviation, where airlines sometimes restore or add limited services in response to major disruptions, humanitarian needs or changes in demand. In this case, Avianca has linked the decision directly to the situation in Venezuela.

For travellers, the announcement offers a short-term option rather than a long-term schedule change. Any extension beyond July 10 will depend on conditions on the ground, leaving the future of the service uncertain for now.
