A DIRECT FLIGHT TO SURFING:
Boston, March 16, 2023. Avianca Airlines, one of the largest carriers in Latin America, announces the launch of two new direct routes from Boston and Orlando to San Salvador, capital of El Salvador, a country located in the Central American region. The Boston - San Salvador route will begin operations on June 1 with four flights a week, while the Orlando - San Salvador route will begin operations on June 11 with four flights a week. The operation will be operated with Airbus A320 aircraft with capacity for 180 passengers, with Premium, Plus and Economy seats.
"The need for connectivity between the United States and Latin America is growing. With these new routes we will boost tourism to new places. El Salvador is recognized for its privileged location for surfing, with perfect waves almost all year round. In a couple of hours, lovers of this sport will be able to access the destination directly. In addition, with this route, we want to promote family travel for the Latino community residing in the country," said Rolando Damas, Avianca's Country Officer for the United States.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
