Avianca structures this proposal around two main pillars: ground services and the onboard experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ground Services: Priority and Operational Consistency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the airport, the product includes a suite of benefits aligned with international executive-class standards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete priority services, covering check-in, boarding, and disembarkation, priority baggage handling, and personalized assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Access to 11 Avianca VIP lounges and to over 1,000 additional lounges through Star Alliance partnerships, reinforcing network connectivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Expanded baggage allowance, with 1 carry-on bag of 10 kg, 1 personal item, and 2 checked pieces of up to 32 kg each.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accumulation of 10 Lifemiles per dollar spent, with enhanced possibilities for redemptions for upgrades to Business Class using miles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This package is aimed directly at the corporate and frequent traveler, but also at a premium leisure segment that values predictability and tangible benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/01\/avianca-breaks-the-historical-correlation-between-growth-and-emissions-in-commercial-aviation.html\">Avianca Breaks the Historical Correlation Between Growth and Emissions in Commercial Aviation<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Onboard Experience: Differentiation Based on Flight Duration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the cabin, Business Class is located in the first three rows of the aircraft, with seats offering more space, recline, and privacy. The design includes adjustable headrests, a work table, and USB ports, key elements for short- and medium-haul flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domestic Routes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On national flights, the offering is adjusted to the operational context but maintains a superior standard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Snack service, coffee, non-alcoholic beverages, and beer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Possibility of additional food and beverage purchases via the Caf\u00e9 del Cielo menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>International Routes: Segmentation by Flight Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avianca introduces a clear differentiation based on the duration of the international journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Less than 3 hours: Snack, cold or hot beverages, and beer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Between 3 and 4 hours: Menu designed by chef \u00c1lvaro Clavijo, cold or hot beverages, beer, and an Eco bag with a blanket and pillow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More than 4 hours: \u00c1lvaro Clavijo menu, cold or hot beverages, beer, Eco bag, and an amenity kit developed by Mola Sasa, with products from Loto del Sur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This segmentation allows for cost optimization without diluting the premium perception, a balance especially relevant in highly price-competitive markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial Vision Behind the Full Deployment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the company&#8217;s commercial leadership, the move is presented as a natural evolution of the product. Otto Gergye, Chief Commercial Officer of Avianca, emphasized that expanding Business Class Americas to domestic routes raises comfort and service standards while consolidating a homogeneous regional offering across the entire network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The executive highlighted that this consistency is key to strengthening brand perception and improving the experience for frequent customers, a critical factor in a scenario where differentiation is no longer based solely on price, but on the integral value of the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
