EULEN Aviation (EULEN) has announced a new partnership with Avianca Airlines (Avianca), Colombia's largest carrier and a member of the Star Alliance. Avianca, which has been the country's flag carrier since 1919, continues to grow its international presence across Central and South America, Europe, and the United States.
As part of its ongoing expansion, Avianca will launch a new route from Tampa International Airport (TPA) to Bogotá, Colombia (BOG), beginning March 30, 2025. The service will operate four times per week using Airbus A320 narrow-body aircraft, improving connectivity and offering more convenient travel options between the two destinations.
EULEN Aviation has been awarded a three-year contract to provide a full suite of ground handling services for Avianca at TPA. These services include passenger service and baggage acceptance at ticket counters and boarding gates, wheelchair assistance, ramp services such as marshalling aircraft and baggage handling, lavatory and water servicing and secure cabin cleaning.
John Jones, Vice-President of Aviation Operations for the United States and the Caribbean, shared his excitement about the partnership, calling it a testament to EULEN's dedication to high-quality service and support for the aviation industry's growth. He expressed confidence in EULEN's ability to play a key role in Avianca's expansion and provide excellent service to both the airline and its passengers.
To ensure a smooth launch, EULEN has already commenced staff training at TPA. The company currently employs 108 personnel at the airport, providing services for major carriers such as Delta Air Lines, Aeromexico, American Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, Havana Air and Invicta Charters.
This partnership highlights EULEN Aviation's commitment to delivering reliable ground handling solutions and exceptional passenger service at Tampa International Airport.
