ProColombia has been providing ongoing support to Avianca throughout this process, facilitating institutional relations and coordinated work with aeronautical authorities, with the support of our team in Venezuela. This type of progress reflects the value of public-private cooperation in continuing to expand connectivity opportunities for the country.”
