Avianca to retire its A330s

As part of its post-COVID strategy and as part of its Chapter 11-restructuring, Avianca has announced it will retire its Airbus A330s and center the passenger widebody fleet on the Boeing 787. No timeline has been given by the airline when it will phase-out the type.

Currently, Avianca has six A330-200s, although three of them are parked due to the current low demand. The airline also has fourteen B787s: thirteen B787-8s (eight parked) and a single B787-9 (which is parked at Abu Dhabi and hasn't been used at all so far).
