Avianca
Avianca is one of the oldest active commercial carriers in the world. In fact, it is the second oldest, just behind KLM. Both airlines began operations in 1919. The Colombian carrier currently flies to 25 domestic and 43 international destinations in 23 countries worldwide. Avianca is the result of the merger between many South American companies.
