Avianca

The Colombian flag carrier’s modern design reflects one of the oldest airline brands still in operation.

The aircraft are expected to enter service later this year.

Service to Caracas will begin in days.

The FAA on Friday warned civilian operators about the “worsening security situation” in the country.

The company also signed leases for up to seven A330s.

According to Avianca, the new service complements the airline’s existing flights to Bogota and its recently announced route to Medellin, Colombia.

An Airbus A320 will operate the route with up to 1,440 total seats per week. Avianca currently flies between Dallas/Fort Worth and San Salvador.

With this new service, the Latin American carrier will add over 1,000 seats per week in the U.S. and El Salvador market.

The crew diverted to Ponta Delgada-Nordela Airport in the Azores. No injuries were reported following the October incident.

State-run Aerolineas Argentinas could be preparing for a sale after it reduced 13% of its staff and cut several domestic routes.
