AVIANCA HOLDINGS MATERIAL INFORMATION

Avianca Holdings S.A. (the “Company”) announces the reduction of the services offered by its local subsidiary Avianca Perú S.A. (“Avianca Perú”) within Peru’s domestic aviation market, directing its focus on international connectivity via Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport. These network changes further advance the Company’s strategy which emphasizes route and network profitability by reducing underperforming flights and ensuring Avianca’s network is optimized; redeploying freed capacity to meet customer demand within Avianca’s key markets. Avianca’s ongoing network changes are aligned to achieve the airline’s commitment to strengthen its balance sheet and deliver long-term value to its shareholders.

Starting March 31, 2019, Avianca Perú will eliminate its underperforming local Trujillo, Juliaca and Puerto Maldonado routes, enhancing connectivity by capitalizing on the airline’s strongest routes while maintaining its 35 weekly departures between Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport and the Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport in Cusco. Customers in affected cities will still be able to access Avianca service at other regional airports or will be able to utilize service with Avianca Perú’s partner airlines. Avianca will maintain its international flights departing from Lima, Peru to 22 direct destinations and more than 100 connection to Europe, North, Central and South America. Daily flights between Cusco and Bogotá will also remain unaffected.
