Brazil regulator to withdraw 10 Avianca Brazil A320 family jets

Brazil’s civil aviation regulator is withdrawing the registrations of 10 Airbus A320 family aircraft in Avianca Brazil’s fleet, dealing another blow to the financially troubled carrier.

The withdrawals from Brazil’s aircraft registry will occur within five working days, after which the aircraft must be returned, says ANAC. The move is in response to a request from lessor GECAS, it adds.

A GECAS spokesperson declines to comment when contacted by FlightGlobal. Avianca Brazil did not immediately comment. ANAC warns that flights scheduled in the coming days may be affected.
