Viva Colombia Airbus A320-251N - Boomerang Livery (HK-5360)

Hello IFC!

Today I bring to all of you this incredible livery from the Colombian Low Cost Airline “Viva Colombia”.

In order to show the entire IF community that Colombia isn’t just Avianca, today, I’ve brought this wonderful new livery made by Airbus in collaboration with VivaAir.

What is Viva Colombia?

Viva Colombia is a low-cost airline with Hub at José Maria Cordova International Airport (SKRG), and its secondary HUB at El Dorado International Airport (SKBO), it’s a relatively new airline in the Colombian skies, but without a doubt It has adapted excellently to the Colombian market, carrying passengers to the main airports of the country.

Why do we need this livery?

Well, this Saturday and I hope that also on other occasions, Colombia will be an international hub, in which currently we will surely only see Avianca aircraft and aircraft registered in Argentina such as the current LATAM A320 (LV-BSJ), on the other hand the Colombian community both in IF and IFC is growing at a motivational rate, which is why the air traffic of IF within and outside of Colombia would increase, since this aircraft also flies to different international destinations.

Other great ideas

There are different liveries in Viva Colombia, in order to show the airline’s origin, for example, some Viva Colombia planes on one side of the pilot’s window have different names of Colombian cities, such as Medellín (HK-5318) , Bogotá (HK-5274) or small phrases with the word “Viva” such as “Viva la vida”, “Hasta la viva, baby”, etc…

There’s also a Viva Colombia livery that supports women to carry out self-examination in order to prevent breast cancer, it can be a good livery (HK-5273)

Your dream of traveling, do it with Viva!

Thanks for your support!

This is the A320neo FYI, I wouldn’t see this coming until we get the announcement of an A320neo.

Great livery! However… I think I am going to save my votes for other things until the NEO is announced.

Also, great request too. Very well laid out and lots of info.

Hello community!

With the recent WIP picture of the Airbus A320neo confirming that it will be coming soon after the we get the Boeing 737MAX8, lots of people have been making new livery requests. I’ve flown on this aircraft 6 times with my 1st one being on Colombian airline Viva Air and since nobody has made a request for this livery yet, I decided to make it myself.

What was Viva Air Colombia?

Viva Air was a Colombian ultra low cost carrier founded in 2009 based in Rionegro, Antioquia near Medellín with Jose Maria Cordova International Airport being its main hub but the airline still had hubs in Bogotás El Dorado International Airport and Cali’s Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport. Despite the name, this airline was NOT connected with Mexico’s Viva Aerobús but they did have codeshare agreements with them. Unfortunately in late February 2023, the airline suspended its operations and eventually ceased ALL of them due to rising fuel costs and Aerocivil’s failure to approve its acquisition by Colombian flag carrier Avianca. This left many passengers stranded across the country no way to get to where they needed to go similar to what happened with WOW Air in Iceland. Many of their planes including the exact one I’m requesting and flew, now fly with Avianca and hopefully will for many years to come. At the time of bankruptcy, Viva had 41 aircraft total with 29 standard Airbus A320s and 12 Airbus A320neos.

Why should we get it?

There’s a few reasons, the first one is that even on the regular A320, we don’t have any representation of this airline and second but more importantly, it opens up many new routes that they flew that no other airline flew and not just within Colombia but even internationally like Medellín to Buenos Aires & São Paulo, Cali to Cancún & México City and a whole lot more.

Another reason to vote is even though this is a request for Viva Air Colombia, they did have a Peruvian subsidiary so that also opens some routes you can do down there as well!

And sometimes, just flying Avianca and LATAM around Colombia gets boring so this will definitely add some variety of airlines to choose when flying around this beautiful country.

If you want to see this beautiful livery in game, please drop a vote!

Thank you,
