About Avianca Brasil

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.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
