Avianca Brasil was a Brazilian airline which operated passenger services within Brazil and South America, on behalf of Avianca. The airline's legal name of the airline remained OceanAir, however, it had been rebranded as Avianca since it was owned by Synergy Group, which owns Avianca Holdings. Avianca Brasil's main bases were Brasilia and Sao Paulo-Guarulhos Airports. Avianca Brasil operated passenger services from 25 destinations.

Avianca Brasil ceased operations in 2019 and filed for bankruptcy in 2020, therefore it is no longer flying. Avianca also has other brands, such as Avianca Costa Rica (previously known as LACSA Airlines), Avianca Argentina and Aerogal Avianca Ecuador.
