Colombian freight carrier Avianca Cargo has added Ecuador as a new key point in its cargo service to Miami, operating on capacity provided by Amazon Air Cargo.
This service, which has been effective since March 2026, is part of the commercial relationship both companies have maintained since 2025, under different arrangements including charter flights and capacity agreements.
It now means that Ecuador becomes the second market where Avianca Cargo operates services utilising capacity provided by Amazon Air Cargo.
Avianca Cargo currently operates more than 20 weekly departures - over 1,000 per year - with nearly 500 flights completed to date. As part of this growth, five new weekly frequencies on the Quito–Miami (UIO–MIA) route have been added, further strengthening air cargo connectivity between Ecuador and the US.
Diogo Elías, chief executive of Avianca Cargo, said: "Since we began our commercial relationship with Amazon Air Cargo in 2025, with the Bogotá–Miami operation, we have been building a solid, long-term relationship.
"Ecuador's addition to this service is a key milestone in our value proposition for exporters, particularly in the perishables segment, through a more robust, reliable operation aligned with their logistics needs."
Kes Nielsen, director of Amazon Air Cargo, said: “Our role is focused on supporting international air cargo operations that connect Ecuador's export economy with US markets. We're pleased to see this service launch and look forward to supporting Avianca Cargo's customers on this important trade corridor."
The carrier says that Ecuador's inclusion responds to growing demand from the export sector, particularly during key seasons such as Mother's Day, when flower shipment volumes to the US market increase significantly.
