Why Chinese exporters choose Avianca Cargo for Latin America and Caribbean-bound cargo.
For Chinese manufacturers, traders and e-commerce businesses, Avianca Cargo offers a uniquely positioned, specialised air freight solution with four distinct advantages.
Unrivalled Latin American network and 50 years of experience. Avianca Cargo has been serving the Americas for over five decades and operates one of the most extensive cargo networks in the region. From its hubs at Medellín and Miami, the airline connects to 70+ destinations across South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico and Europe. Through 70+ interline agreements, Avianca Cargo reaches 350 destinations globally. For Chinese exporters targeting any market in Latin America — from Brazil and Argentina to Peru, Ecuador and the Caribbean — Avianca Cargo offers a single-carrier solution with deep regional expertise that few competitors can match.
First in the Americas with four IATA CEIV certifications. Avianca Cargo is the first airline in the Americas to obtain IATA CEIV certifications in four categories: Pharma, Fresh, Live, and Lithium Batteries. This comprehensive certification portfolio reflects the airline's commitment to the highest international standards in specialised cargo handling. For Chinese exporters of pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals and lithium battery products, Avianca Cargo offers validated, compliant handling that meets regulatory requirements across the Americas.
Market leader in perishables and flowers. Avianca Cargo is the leading carrier of fresh flowers from Latin America, transporting over 20,000 tonnes during peak seasons and more than 100,000 tonnes of flowers in 2025 from Ecuador and Colombia to the United States, Europe and Asia. Perishable transport accounts for over 50% of the airline's cargo operations. This expertise in temperature-sensitive, time-critical cargo is directly relevant to Chinese exporters of fresh produce, seafood and other perishables targeting Latin American markets. The airline's A330 freighters are equipped with advanced temperature control systems and the airline operates CEIV Fresh certified facilities at key stations.
Strategic partnership with Amazon Air Cargo. Avianca Cargo has established a collaboration agreement with Amazon Air Cargo, including a daily Boeing 767-300F charter operation between Bogotá and Miami that began in April 2025 and expanded to twice-daily service. This partnership enhances airfreight capacity between the US and Latin America and demonstrates Avianca Cargo's ability to partner with world-class logistics operators. For Chinese e-commerce exporters, this partnership signals Avianca Cargo's capability in handling high-volume, time-sensitive e-commerce shipments. The airline also partners with Amazon for Quito–Miami capacity since March 2026, further expanding its perishables export capabilities.
On cost and reliability, routing via Miami or Los Angeles offers competitive transit times and rates compared to all-the-way long-haul products. Goodhope Freight consolidates and negotiates on the China side, so exporters benefit from consolidated rates, predictable departures and local Chinese-language support.
