The Colombian National Carrier
Avianca or Aerovias del Continente Americano is the Colombian national air carrier. It is the oldest airline on the American continent and the second oldest in the world. It was founded in 1919. Today it has become one of the largest airline conglomerates in Latin America and is managed by the Synergy Group from Colombo-Brazilian entrepreneur German Efromovich.
Avianca flies with a fleet of 62 aircraft to 22 domestic and 22 international destinations plus other 77 share code cities. The recent acquisition of several airlines like OceanAir, VIP, Capital Airlines and TACA, is offering Avianca the opportunity to fly to 65 new international destinations.http://www.avianca.com/Inicio/Navegacion/AcercaAvianca/Nuestra+historia/es/Naceunahistoriaconalas.htm I http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_airlines_in_South_America

Avianca Acquisitions
