These narrow-body aircraft will carry the fans’ message of encouragement at an altitude of over 30,000 feet, operating under a flexible product model that allows travelers to choose between affordability and premium experiences.

This joint effort between Avianca and the FCF symbolizes a shared purpose: demonstrating that talent and connectivity ensure national pride knows no borders at the next World Cup.
