Elias was named CEO in May. He had several cargo managements positions over his ten years with the carrier, most recently senior vice president of cargo.

Avianca this year expanded its visibility in Latin America after rebranding Mexico-based AeroUnion as Avianca Cargo Mexico as part of a commercial cooperation agreement between the carriers.

The combination carrier added an ex-SmartLynx A330-300P2F (1382) on lease from CDB Aviation and an A330-200P2F on lease from Avolon in June, bringing its fleet to three A330-300P2Fs, six production A330-200Fs and one A330-200P2F.
