Boeing 767-200 - Avianca
Avianca, the national airline of Colombia and one of the leading airlines in South America, is one of the oldest airlines in the world, although it doesn't operate any more under its original name. The airline was founded in 1919 in Barranquila as Sociedad Colombo-Alemana de Transporte Aéreo, SCADTA (Colombian-German Society for Air Transportation) and its first aircraft was a Junkers F-13.
In 1940 SCADTA merged with SACO (Servicio Aéreo Colombiano) and the result was named Avianca (Aerovías Nacionales de Colombia). The name was later changed to Aerovias del Continente Americano, but the name Avianca remained.
Today Avianca operates a number of Boeing 767 airliners, 767-200s and 767-300s. The first 767-200 was introduced in 1990. The Avianca aircraft wear a beautiful livery, which is shown on the picture by a Boeing 767-200ER of the airline which is landing at Miami International Airport.
