In a new report, Fitch Ratings said that it expects a combined $202 million USD in debt due this year and owed by Avianca, Odebrecht and Digicel will not be repaid by the issuers.

The total was up 3.5% from 2017, while Avianca's RPK (revenue passenger kilometers) jumped by 8.7% year over year.

SAI supports ground operations including aircraft dispatch, engine starting, counter check-in, and cabin cleaning.

Cali will get direct flights to Santa Marta, Bucaramanga, and San Andrés, while Cartagena and Medellín also get new routes to San Andrés.

Bogotá-based airline Avianca completed the first flight on its new daily route between the Colombian capital and Montevideo today.

Avianca head Hernán Rincón says the airline "will continue negotiations with United" to reach an alliance that he believes is in the best interest of the company and shareholders.

Avianca's filing calls Roberto Kriete of Kingsland a “disloyal director who has worked actively to undermine the company’s strategic goals.”

The labor deal between Avianca and the ODEAA "includes a substantial increase in the gross income of pilots and co-pilots," according to the airline.

Though adding a strategic partner could be a positive development, Fitch Ratings views Avianca's liquidity as low.
