At avianca, we believe the sky belongs to everyone when we can generate well-being and development. Our aircraft are more than transportation: they are wings that carry doctors, scientists, veterinarians, children, women, and specialists to remote territories, where their work transforms lives. Thanks to our social and environmental alliances and the Miles Bank, every flight becomes a real opportunity for health, humanitarian support, and a future for communities.
In 2025, we strengthened this commitment with more than 26 strategic alliances, support for more than 45,000 people, over 60 dreams fulfilled with Make-A-Wish, more than 150 organs transported for transplant between Colombia and Ecuador, more than 600 veterinary interventions alongside Ruta Animal, and the transport of more than 33 tons of recyclable waste to protect ecosystems such as Leticia, Galápagos, and San Andrés.
We work with our social partners to ensure transparent, clear, and efficient management with a timely and direct impact on communities in vulnerable conditions. Learn more about them
Our social commitment aims to build a future where all people can have comprehensive well-being and opportunities for growth and development, generating significant changes for society and the planet
At avianca, we believe that flying is more than connecting destinations: it is protecting lives and raising our voice for those who cannot. That is why we joined efforts to prevent human trafficking and CSEC together with Fundación Renacer and the Office of the Attorney General of Colombia.
Since 2023, we have carried this message onboard with an information card, in-flight announcements, and campaigns in Medellín and Cartagena, allowing more than 550,000 passengers to receive awareness messages by 2025. Additionally, more than 1,400 crew members have been trained to identify warning signs and act with warmth and care in possible cases.
Throughout 2025, we conducted awareness performances at the airports of Barranquilla and Cartagena and at a school in Medellín; installed 5 totems in the Plaza del Reloj to alert tourists; and participated in official forums in Bogotá and El Salvador.
Additionally, we are distributing 1,500 notebooks with key messages and action guidelines for our operational teams. At avianca, we don’t just transport people: we protect their dreams and firmly say NO to human trafficking and CSEC.
This is a circularity project born from the alliance between Avianca Cargo, Expeditors, Mola Sasa, and Deprisa, demonstrating how strategic partnerships can turn operational challenges into opportunities for transformation. The initiative gives a second life to unused uniforms, converting them into school kits that support learning and strengthen the development of children and young people in vulnerable situations.
In 2025 we achieved:
The program is a space where, through the donation of work hours, our employees reaffirm their commitment to social and environmental causes. It strengthens well-being, empathy, and the pride of belonging to a company that believes in the power of taking action to drive real change. Through a broad and flexible portfolio, participants can choose how to engage based on their time, interests, and skills—demonstrating that every hour can transform lives, communities, and environments.

Avianca Corporate Volunteering is more than a program: it is a network of people who believe in the power of acting, serving, and transforming. Each experience strengthens our culture of empathy and commitment, proving that when we come together, flying higher also means reaching further.
We recognize the power of diversity in our industry. That’s why we work towards building a fairer and more equitable society, where everyone has equal opportunities by breaking down barriers and promoting participation and excellence.
We are more than 15,000 employees located in over 25 countries, making diversity a strength that enriches us.
We work to foster an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and recognized. At avianca, we believe we must all adopt the following behaviors:
● Treat each other with dignity and respect.
● Treat our customers, suppliers, and partners with the same respect.
● Create a space and culture that nurtures and is enriched by our differences.
● Do not tolerate intolerance.
● Be a constant example of inclusion and openness in the societies where we operate.
● Promote equal opportunities in our processes and policies.
Our goal is to create travel experiences that are simpler and more accessible, allowing everyone to fully engage in everyday life, regardless of their abilities
Our main goal is to identify, prioritize, and eliminate the barriers encountered by travelers with different types of disabilities throughout their journey: from the moment they imagine a trip, book it, arrive at the airport, board the aircraft, and through every stage after the flight.
The sky belongs to everyone, and that’s why we aim to learn from all ways of flying, aligning all actors in the travel experience to create more accessible air transportation. Our goal is to ensure a safe and inclusive experience for all travelers, complying with regulations in the countries where we operate and ensuring a journey adapted to each person’s needs.
Using common sense, empathy, and universal design as key principles to create societal change, we recognize that progress is made step by step. That’s why we choose progress over perfection. Building accessible and inclusive air transportation is a shared responsibility across the industry, and we aim for cost-efficient initiatives that benefit the majority rather than expensive solutions that impact only a few.
Raising awareness, training our teams, redesigning processes, using available technological solutions, and improving infrastructure are our tools to advance toward an accessible society and accessible air travel for people with disabilities.
With 50+ implemented actions, we achieved measurable results in both awareness and internal training, as well as direct benefits for passengers. Here are some examples:
