Avianca released the balance of its operations in Brazil during the first half of 2023 less than two years after the launch of its new business vision 'Avianca for all', which combines the best of its almost 104 years of activity with the benefits of low model
cost.
The company reported a 70% increase in the number of engers transported to and from Brazil, with more than 270 thousand engers in the first six months of 2023. It also reported a 40% growth in flights operated at the beginning of the year, with more than 1.740 operations between the four routes that connect São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Manaus and Belo Horizonte to Bogotá.
In addition, Avianca ended the semester with an OTP (On Time Performance) punctuality indicator of 86,9% and a SC (Schedule Completion) compliance rate of 100%.
Even in the midst of a challenging environment for aviation due to variables such as the increase in fuel prices, the exchange rate and inflation, Avianca managed to advance in strategic projects during these almost two years, such as the simplification of its fleet, choosing the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner; the reconfiguration in record time of its A320 aircraft to offer 20% more capacity and reduce the carbon footprint per enger by up to 15,35%; and updating its product to offer more flexibility and customization to customers, in addition to rates that are up to 25% more competitive in the case of Brazil, contributing to the democratization of air travel.
During this period, the company was recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project as one of the best airlines in managing climate change in Latin America, with a 'B' rating. Avianca also reported the growth of Avianca Cargo's operations in Brazil, which recently inaugurated the Miami-Vitória route, reaching five cargo destinations in the country, along with Campinas, Curitiba, São Paulo and Manaus. During the first half of 2023, Avianca's cargo unit moved 21.700 tons of cargo to and from the country.
