Colombian aircraft Avianca petitions for financial protection in US court
Colombia's national aircraft, Avianca, has petitioned for financial protection insurance in a US court. The bearer is the second-biggest in Latin America, yet its traveler activities have been grounded since March as a result of coronavirus. It said the pandemic had cut over 80% of its salary, and it was battling with high fixed expenses. On the off chance that it neglects to come out of chapter 11, Avianca will be the main significant carrier to go under in the midst of the pandemic. In an announcement, the firm said it had petitioned for Chapter 11 insolvency security in a court in New York. The procedure defers a US organization's commitments to its banks, giving it an opportunity to revamp its obligations or sell portions of the business. CEO Anko van der Werff said the move was expected to guarantee the New York-recorded carrier develop as a "superior, increasingly productive aircraft that works for some more years". More than 140 of its airplane have been grounded since Colombian President Ivan Duque shut the nation's airspace in March. A large portion of its 20,000 workers have been put on unpaid leave. Behind KLM, Avianca is the second-longest persistently running aircraft on the planet. It recently sought financial protection in the mid 2000s, and was saved by an arrangement with Bolivian oil mogul German Efromovich. The carrier developed rapidly under his stewardship, yet its developing obligation prompted a fruitful meeting room upset against Mr Efromovich a year ago. It is currently run by Kingsland Holdings. The coronavirus pandemic has managed a tremendous hit to the universal avionics industry, as governments force travel limitations and restriction measures. Worldwide air travel has fallen by 90%, as per the International Air Transport Association. The body predicts Latin American aircrafts will lose $15bn (£12bn; €13.9bn) in incomes this year - the greatest drop in the business' history.
