Avianca, the second largest airline in Latin America, filed for bankruptcy on Sunday. The company, with around 20,000 employees, is said to be in urgent need of government aid, as it has been unable to fly since the end of March due to the corona crisis. Talks with the Colombian government had not led to success.
