Avianca, founded as SCADTA on December 5, 1919, is the second oldest airline in the world after KLM. It is Colombia's largest airline and the country's main carrier. It has been a member of the Star Alliance since 2012.

Having celebrated its centenary, Avianca almost immediately faced great difficulties. In 2020, when the world changed under the pressure of pandemic restrictions, Avianca almost immediately lost most of its passenger traffic. In March of the same year, flights were suspended. The airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Many analysts predicted the collapse of Avianca, but contrary to forecasts, it resisted and emerged from bankruptcy proceedings in December 2021.

To survive in difficult conditions, Avianca has reconfigured its business by switching to a low-cost business model and optimizing its fleet. Finally in October 2023, the company rebranded and changed its name from Avianca to avianca. This small, at first glance, renaming, nevertheless succinctly reflects the changes that the airline has experienced over those three years, and now it is fully consistent with the slogan "Now the sky belongs to all of us". At the same time, avianca presented its updated livery in which the new Airbus A320neo aircraft were painted. The plane on our poster is one of them.
