The airline joins Latam Airlines and Sky in their support for those affected after the closure of Viva Air.
low cost airline JetSmart announced that it will offer its support to all the people who bought a ticket for the Lima-Cusco route before the 27 and whose flights are scheduled between February 28 and March 2either. They will be offered free protection on the same route in which they can take a piece of luggage, with the aim of helping those who have to travel urgently and do not have time to look for another transfer. To do this, they will have to carry out the following process:
- Approach the JetSmart counter at the airports of any of the two cities with the boarding pass that meets both requirements.
- introduce yourself at least two hours and 30 minutes before the flight that is of your interest.
What happened to Viva Air?
The Colombian airline has suspended all its operations immediately on February 27 because he filed for bankruptcy. This is because the Government of your country has not allowed you to join Avianca as one of its subsidiaries. They used the “company in crisis exception” resource, but received no response and, after seven months, they stopped operating.
“After more than seven months of delay by the entity, Viva has presented numerous pieces of evidence to the Colombian government to demonstrate that it is in a critical financial situationensuring that the only way it can continue to fly is for Civil Aeronautics to allow it to be part of a stronger and more well-capitalized group of airlines,” is what the company said through its Twitter account.
