Avianca and Viva Air Accelerate Tie Up Application

DALLAS – Colombian flag-carrier Avianca (AV) has made an official request to the Colombian Civil Aeronautics Authority to integrate budget airlines Viva Air Colombia (VH) and Viva Air Peru (VV).

Citing Viva’s ‘delicate financial situation,’ management has requested that authorisation be of the ‘utmost urgency.’ This, it states, is to make the airline ‘viable for the benefit of passengers, connectivity in Colombia and Peru, as well as to safeguard jobs that directly and indirectly depend on Viva.’
