Avianca Cargo has set a new record by transporting 20,100 tons of flowers ahead of Mother’s Day, marking a significant achievement in the airline’s operations. This record-breaking shipment underscores the strong demand for floral deliveries during the peak season and highlights Avianca Cargo’s role as a key player in the global flower transport industry.
The flowers, primarily destined for North American and European markets, were flown from Colombia, a major exporter of flowers. The airline’s efficient cargo network, coupled with its specialized handling capabilities, allowed for the timely and safe delivery of the delicate blooms, which are crucial for Mother’s Day celebrations.
Avianca Cargo has long been recognized for its expertise in shipping perishable goods, and the Mother’s Day floral rush is one of its busiest periods. In recent years, the airline has invested in expanding its fleet and optimizing its logistics to meet the growing demand for floral shipments, which are highly time-sensitive.
Our record achievement this year reflects both the reliability of our services and the growing importance of the flower trade, said Avianca Cargo’s CEO. We’re proud to play a vital role in ensuring that flowers reach their destinations in perfect condition, especially for such a significant occasion.
With Mother’s Day being one of the most important holidays for flower sales, Avianca Cargo’s ability to manage the large volume of shipments effectively speaks to its strength in the competitive cargo industry. The airline plans to continue expanding its capacity to support future growth in floral shipping and other high-demand markets.
