Avianca Cargo has successfully concluded its Mother’s Day 2025 season with a historic record, transporting over 20,100 tons of fresh flowers—a 15% increase compared to last year. The shipments originated from Colombia and Ecuador, reaching destinations across North America and Europe. This achievement reinforces Avianca Cargo’s position as the #1 flower carrier from Colombia to the United States and solidifies its status as one of the top players in the global flower transportation market.

To meet the heightened seasonal demand, Avianca Cargo doubled its operational capacity, expanded critical infrastructure, and delivered 24/7 flower service across strategic terminals without disrupting its broader operations.

“Mother’s Day is one of the most important seasons for the flower industry, and we are proud to once again fulfill our commitment. We celebrate a historic record that reaffirms our market position and leadership as the flower carrier of the season between Colombia and the United States," said Diogo Elias, CEO of Avianca Cargo. "Thanks to all our key stakeholders and clients, we recognize each of these 20,100 tons as a shared achievement.”

“Thanks to airline partners like Avianca, more than 1,000 tons of flowers have been arriving at MIA every day in the weeks leading up to Mother’s Day,” said Ralph Cutié, Miami International Airport Director and CEO. “That equals nine out of every 10 flowers imported to the U.S. In fact, flowers continue to be MIA’s largest imported product, accounting for nearly 380,000 tons worth $1.8 billion annually. Congratulations to Avianca on having its best Mother’s Day season ever for flower shipments, which is helping MIA have yet another record year in cargo volume.”
