Ocean Air VP said in a press interview in Rio de Janeiro that the number is 29 x F100, and AV would get part of it, to be split among AV, Ocean Air, VIP and newly established Wayra Peru

Indeed, the news for me is that the F-100s are coming from AA. I thought that they would come from JJ! JJ was once the biggest operator of F-100 and is replacing them with Airbuses.
I think F-100 would fit AV quite well, and you may expect new air connections among airports in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil.

Thanks for this new source, and especially for the info as to where these aircraft are coming from.
This has been discussed http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/read.main/1912981/
It is unlikely that AV would take such number of F100s, even if to replace its MD83s, but it has been reported that 29 of the type would be divided up between the airlines of Sinergy group: Newly acquired AV, Brazilian commuter airline OceanAir, new Peruvian Wayra and a small Ecuatorian airline.

The info was the same as in the previous link....the only additional info is that the planes would come from AA and not JJ....again, the F-100 seem to be confirmed, as stated by Ocean Air VP in an interview to a Brazilian newspaper.

They are 15 years old, but in a very good condition .
AA will replace them in the next years with the new 737 8, but this will take at least 5 years to replace the aprox 60 F100.
On domestic routes would fit perfectly, less pax, more frequencies and less operational cost than a MD.

You also missed that the 738 is almost twice the size with twice the range of the F100. AA would be smart to stop Boeing from closing the 717 line while they still have a chance and not end up like NW with the 753

According to AA:
AA and Boeing announced that American will defer 54 of 56 aircraft originally scheduled for delivery between 2005 and 2009.The delivery of 47 737 /800
and seven B 777, aircraft will be deferred by six years.
American active fleet consists of over 730 aircraft. This does not include American Eagle.
The retired F100 are the ones that they are selling, 10 of them are already flying in a Canadian LCC, some of them in Africa, and the remaining are still for sale.
Conversations with Aerolineas Universal, never ended in a good deal.
25 BALandorLivery: It's JetsGo that have the former AA F100's in Canada isn't it? I read somewhere that they were getting more of them too.
26 MIASkies: Sounds great, I think the F100 will fit great with AVIANCA's short-haul routes. I know we won't be seeing them in MIA at all but what are some possibl
27 757MDE: I repeat what I said in an earlier post regarding the same thing. I highly doubt AV will get those, and even less to get 30. It's not like they're gon
28 SOUTHAMERICA: Indeed, these news are definitely pushing it. To start off, the 30 Fokkers are most likely to be divided between the companies under the Synergy umbre
29 RCS763av: As in the other thread, wont believe it until Juan Emilio Posada or Efromovich do an announcement...
30 757MDE: Juan Emilio either... I just won't believe until I see it.
31 BALandorLivery: We'll just have to wait and see what becomes of the discussions. Lets try to be optomistic though, I think it would be a good thing for Avianca
32 Tango-Bravo: The retired F100 are the ones that they are selling, 10 of them are already flying in a Canadian LCC, some of them in Africa, and the remaining are st
33 Vatry: Jetsgo, Austrian and Helvetic received ex AA Fk100's Germania are ex US, EU Jet are a mix of Gill and TAM. Montenegro aircraft came from a variety of
34 MauriceB: A small number of AA aircraft have also, or are due to be, broken up. yup, not that they are bad but they were cheap, so it makes more sense for airli
