About Avianca Argentina
Avianca Argentina was an Argentinian airline that operated domestic flights throughout Argentina. Although the airline operated commercially under Avianca through a license agreement, the airline was not actually part of the Avianca Holdings group and was an independent airline. The airline was primarily based at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) from which it flew a number of routes, including Mar del Plata, Rosario and Santa Fe. Although it only operated domestic services, the airline planned to fly internationally in the last couple of years.
Avianca's fleet consisted of a number of ATR 72-600 aircraft. The aircraft interior was decorated with a modern design and included ergonomic seats and an LED-illuminated passenger cabin. The technology within the cockpit was state of the art, incorporating the latest systems with MPC equipment which brings the highest level of flight safety and operational capacity. Passengers were given a complimentary snack and drink included (with gluten-free options) with the price of the ticket, although in-flight services did vary depending on which route you were flying.
