Through its Mileage Bank and partnerships, the airline doubled its social impact versus 2023. It also reduced its emission intensity per passenger by 20% compared to 2019, according to its latest verified corporate responsibility report.
Avianca positively impacted 28,531 people across Colombia and Latin America in 2024 through its partnership model, doubling its reach compared to 2023. Simultaneously, the company managed to transport a record 37.7 million passengers—a 24% increase—while reducing its absolute CO2 emissions by 7% and its per-passenger emission intensity by 20% compared to 2019 levels, as detailed in its 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report.
The social impact was largely channeled through the company’s «Mileage Bank,» which received over 9.7 million donated miles from LifeMiles partners.

Additionally, over 100 tons of humanitarian aid were transported via Avianca Cargo in partnership with organizations like ABACO, TECHO, and the Colombian Civil Air Patrol to address emergencies in Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia.

Internally, the company reports a 27% reduction in conventional waste generation at its main stations between 2019 and 2024, attributed to «the standardization of the fleet and the change in the in-flight service model and in VIP lounges.»…
