Abra Group, owner of Avianca and Gol, is to make an investment in wet lease and charter airline Wamos Air,  based in Spain. This deal will bring about the possibility of improving connectivity between Latin America and Europe, leveraging the potential increase in coverage and operation of the group’s wide-body fleet.

“We celebrate the signing of this agreement for multiple reasons. First, because Wamos Air is a gem in the world of ACMI and air charter operations and has global experience operating in multiple markets. Second, because its business model perfectly complements Abra’s vision and strategy of being a leader in air transportation in Latin America. And third, because this partnership will allow us to participate in long-haul markets with wide-body aircraft in other countries beyond our current Colombia operation,” stated Adrian Neuhauser, CEO of Abra Group.
