Launched under the name SCADTA in 1919, Avianca is the largest airline in Colombia and the second largest in South America. Avianca is an acronym for Aerovias del Continente Americanos S.A., or Airways of the American Continent. That far-reaching name is apt, because Avianca flies not only in South America, but also to North America and Europe.
Throughout its history, Avianca has made a point of changing with the times. That’s part of what has made it so stable and popular for so long. It offers affordable, comfortable flights across the globe, and it’s known for its friendly flight attendants and incredibly safe airplanes.
Avianca is taking robust steps toward sustainability and ethical practices. It has invested in the urban agro industry in Medellin and taken part in carbon off-setting, and it’s focusing on conserving fuel by investing in densifying its aircraft to reduce fuel consumption by 20%.
With all that on offer, it’s hard to believe that Avianca also offers incredible value. It has a range of affordable flight options that seeks to make its motto — “the sky belongs to all of us” — a reality.
