Avianca Brazil (OceanAir Linhas Aereas dba) (Sao Paulo)ย has been invited to join the Star Alliance as part of Avianca (Bogota) membership. On December 13, theย Chief Executive Board of Star Alliance agreed to extend Avianca’s membership ofย the Alliance to include its partner Avianca Brazil. The unanimous decision marksย the first step in Star Alliance’s strategy to secure its position in theย Brazilian market following current member airline TAM’s decision to leave theย Alliance as a consequence of its merger with LAN.
As a first step in the integration process, experts from Avianca Brazil, theย Star Alliance member carriers serving Brazil and Star Alliance management willย jointly work on enhancing Avianca Brazil’s network. The aim is to facilitateย seamless connections via the major hubs in Sรฃo Paulo – Guarulhos and Rio deย Janeiro – Galeรฃo/Antรดnio Carlos Jobim.
Avianca Brazil is expected to join the alliance in 2014.
