About the baggage situation in Europe:

The limitations of operational personnel at European airports, a situation beyond our control, have meant that, in most cases, the baggage of customers who have flights with other airlines (origin, connection or destination to this continent) is not being delivered to Avianca flights. For this reason, there may be inconveniences with the delivery of baggage.

At this moment we are working together with the different airlines to continue the process of shipping your luggage and to have more information about it.

Considering the volume of baggage accumulation in Europe, which has paralyzed part of the operation of several airlines on the continent, we thank you for your patience, as we are unable to provide you with any further information on the status of your baggage at this time.
