Five years ago Avianca was on the brink of bankruptcy. After purchasing TACA, it is one of the largest airlines of Latin America.
The merger of both companies is likely to trigger a process of airline concentration in Latin America. AeroMéxico has already announced it will seek alliances beyond commercial agreements.
