The figures speak for themselves, not only did we maintain first place, we also increased the punctuality indicator three points compared to the month of August, reaching 89.9% for September. We are now focused on preparing the operation for the winter season, which will have a significant increase in capacity, for which we will need the teamwork of all the actors in the sector, stated Frederico Pedreira, Deputy CEO of Avianca.
