Operating revenue for 2012 was up 13.7% to COP$7.6 trillion and operating profit was COP$506.8 billion.
Both, ASKs and RPKs increased 10.3%, as Avianca, Taca and their subsidiaries reached a system passenger load factor of 79.6%. The airline said the results were mainly due to fleet enhancement and route network and improvement in the Bogotá, Lima, San Salvador and San José (Costa Rica) hubs.
