Looking at the geographic advantage BOG has it's honestly shocking and a testament to the incompetence at Avianca that they aren't the de facto hub to South America.

What’s your beef with Avianca? LATAM and Avianca are the leading carriers in terms of number of flights between N and S America. In 2019, BOG was trailing GRU in terms of passenger numbers by over 8 million. Just 3 years later, it surpassed GRU to become the busiest in South America. GRU managed to take back #1, barely, and they are now neck and neck as the top two busiest airports in South America. No small feet for an airport and an airline that was bankrupt only a few years ago.
Futhermore, Avianca at least flies to 2 cities in Canada. Does LATAM fly to Canada? No. So I don't see where the incompetence is, especially post-bankruptcy. They're on the right track and have built up their BOG hub at an impressive pace of late.

Plus a few more incoming, if the rumors are true.
And if we add in EK/QR, it should be a good year or two for YVR.

Just because WS announced YYC-GRU doesn't mean the route will succeed. I'm of the the opinion it won't, in fact.
