“The United transaction diverts the vast majority of the consideration United is paying for a partnership with Avianca...to Efromovich’s financially shaky affiliates," alleges the Kingsland lawsuit.

Avianca currently has four weekly flights to Los Angeles, and its upcoming daily route will be operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
