I don't understand your point here, right now the most important thing is to save Avianca, I think we are hundred of years away from trying to create an airline based in Colombia trying to compete in Brazil market. The start of your new South American mega airline is too far away, maybe if Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador could, for once in history, agree on something we could create a large airline with a heavy influence in the andean region, but I do not even dream about it.

But they already have the market, just with some advertising saying "OceanAir is now part of the most experienced airline in America, blah blah blah, fly us, fly the best", the OceanAir passengers would fly AVbrasil.

With the teeny tiny ops of Ocean Air, an "Avianca Brazil" would be even more ridiculous than _________. (fill the blank with the name of any of the South American airlines that don't fly, don't have aircrafts and/or don't have routes, but they exist in the paper.)
Why is now the desire of all the airlines of the region to become LAN?
Stupid or not, Lan Chile is one of a kind! Although it would be a good time for repliying to the annoying-repetitive-none-value-added comments of RCnosecuanto "I hate stupid avianca"
Is this where you want to write AV's name on? I know is red already, but...

I could see it. It's very similar to when Texas International bought Continental... they decided to keep the Continental name for brand recognition... If I bought the second oldest airline in the world, I would definitely want to keep the name!

If OceanAir became AV it would not be big thing, it would only pass to the AV group, which is conformed by Helicol, and SAM. That is not a big deal for AV, this would only have 10 aircrafts more, and that's it.

By far one of the most stupid and ridiculous threads I've seen...
AA300B,
Why is everybody ignorin me!??!??! lol
Because you say things that nothing have to do with the thread perhaps...
I think Lan is going to be the best south american airline for ever
What does this have to do with anything?
Avianca wants to enter the Brazil market???
Where do you get that from?
Uuuuhhhhhh.......Ocean air????
Next time, why don't you try reading a bit more about the topic you are going to reply to, maybe then you shall think twice when posting useless rubbish such as that.
As much as I HATE STUPID LAN, that is fairly true.
Watch out with those comments pal ! There are several chilean users around who may not like that sort of replies. Yet, LAN is by far the airline that's holding Latin America's name high enough.
Anyway, this whole idea of Avianca Brasil stuff is just ridiculous. OceanAir ain't no Varig nor TAM, their a small regional airline, and so far AV is alerady busy enough with their network from Colombia to be thinking in expanding to other places. Your instead getting annoying with this AVBrasil and AVPeru fuss.

Arcano,
Why is now the desire of all the airlines of the region to become LAN?
Apart maybe from AR, who are you talking about? (In the case this comment was directed towards AV, they haven't even thought about going out of Colombia and operating based somewhere else, it's just RCS763av's fantasy)
Stupid or not, Lan Chile is one of a kind!
Absolutely.
Although it would be a good time for repliying to the annoying-repetitive-none-value-added comments of RCnosecuanto "I hate stupid avianca"
Cool way for a 28 year-old to answer to the rubbish of a 14 year-old. . Agreed with the first part nevertheless.

Juanr has a good point. A trinational airline from Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela would not be a bad idea (beneficial to all, no?), and if nothing else would be easy to paint: anything with yellow, blue and red, and none of the countries are likely to be offended. As you say though, Juan, it will probably just remain a dream, unless someone takes a leaf out of TACA's book.
Slightly off topic, does anyone know why EQ has only one international destination? Surely they are overdue for expansion. Or are there issues of the "military" status of the airline?

I had the opportunity to meet, throughout the years, a handful airline senior executives and it is really something to see how pragmatic most of them are. As much as we try to undercover some sort of hidden strategies and agendas, it is disappointing to see they just don't exist.
This is pretty much the case with the Synergy group I would say going for Avianca. They just happen to have a regional airline before jumping into a new venture. Both of them have so little in common that it is hard to visualize any sort of common synergy that can be milked off.
In the other hand, having an airline is an excellent self-promotional tool for other ventures in which the group may be looking for in Colombia. This strategy is quite common in Brazil and it works, as we already saw with Ocean Air, Vasp, Gol, Ciprioli and Passaredo!
Cheers!

But here in Colombia we have different customs for traveling by airlines. We are afraid of the low cost airlines, because some of Colombian people thinks that they are a kind of unsafety, and bad attention, so I think is hard to think that what you are naming could be for real, Ciro. Also if AV is not more of the Colombians, (or with more percentage of actions) the people will stop flying them.
