Avianca, officially known as Aerovías del Continente Americano S.A., is one of the oldest airlines in the world, founded in 1919 in Colombia. It began as SCADTA and has grown to become the second largest airline in Latin America.

The airline has significantly expanded its network over the decades, including a merger with TACA Airlines in 2009. Avianca offers a wide range of passenger air services, including domestic and international flights across Central America, South America, North America, and Europe. The airline operates a diverse fleet, catering to both short regional flights and long-haul international routes. With hubs in Bogotá, San Salvador, San José, and Lima, Avianca serves over 100 destinations, including major North American cities like Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. As a member of the Star Alliance, Avianca provides extensive connectivity and benefits for frequent flyers.
