After nearly two years of transformation since its successful exit from Chapter 11, Avianca Airlines has unveiled its new brand. After 104 years of operation, being the second oldest airline in the world, the airline bid farewell to the uppercase “A” and welcomed the lowercase “a” with a new slogan: “The sky belongs to everyone.”
“The more than 180 days that our planes spent on the ground due to the COVID-19 pandemic were dark days,” said Adrian Neuhauser, CEO of avianca. “We knew that our airline was at risk of disappearing, as was the connectivity of the countries and regions where we operated and the jobs we generated. But it was also during that time that we saw that it was not only possible but also necessary to achieve a different avianca, one that is more open, closer, more accessible and with more for everyone. After nearly two years, that new avianca is here.”
The new avianca is the result of the strategic projects that have been implemented to become a more efficient, competitive and sustainable airline, including:
- 20 percent more capacity in the Airbus A320 fleet with 180 seats for everyone
- 39 million seats available in 24 countries
