Last Mother’s day season, in the midst of a market facing a supply’s contraction, Avianca Holdings transported 12.311 tons of flowers. "The company continued to transport flowers and fulfill the commitments agreed with Colombian and Ecuadorian exporters", they say in a press release. In addition, they reported that, only during the third week of May it completed an operation of 720 tons of this same product, joining efforts against the deficit that the market presents, as it currently does not have the full capacity of the operation with the lack of passengers.
Furthermore, in the press release, they state that, in addition to regular services, the company's cargo operation has transported medical supplies, personal care products and food, making an average of 265 flights per week. On top of that, more than 11,500 people have returned home on repatriation flights coordinated among various entities as the airline, governments, embassies and consulates and in the past week, the company operated repatriation flights from destinations such as Toronto and Rome that are not part of Avianca’s regular operation.
“Committed to Latin America and responding to the crisis in which we find ourselves, Avianca continues to make all necessary efforts to be still operating within the framework of current restrictions. In this way, in an articulated work with governments, airports, air traffic authorities, as well as with our clients in the cargo segment, we have adapted our work, even reaching destinations that are not usually part of our passenger´s network or cargo, as is the case of Canada, Italy, Belgium, and even China.” said Julian Laverde, Vice President of Network Operations at Avianca Holdings
