REUTERS/Luisa Gonzalez/File PhotoSAO PAULO: Passenger revenue at Latin America's No. 2 airline, Avianca Holdings , has fallen 51per cent for the year as of early June compared with a year ago, the carrier said, in a look into the dire financial toll that the coronavirus has taken on the company.
Colombia-based Avianca was the first airline in the region to file for bankruptcy protection, after the coronavirus added financial strain to the already weak carrier.The revenue figure shows just how bad second-quarter results are likely to be for Latin America's airlines. Results published so far only accounted for about two weeks worth of coronavirus lockdowns in late March.
Panama's Copa Holdings has also not flown any flights since March, when Panama shut down its airspace. Copa's revenue fell about 12per cent through March.Avianca has not yet published its first-quarter results, which the airline said it would release by June 15. The revenue figure was instead disclosed in its annual report filed late last week in the United States with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
