Diogo Elias appointed CEO of Avianca Cargo as of May 1, following his tenure as Senior Vice President since 2023. His appointment signals the beginning of a new phase in which he will lead the company’s strategy for growth, operational expansion, and market consolidation for the airline’s cargo division.

Avianca Cargo operates a network that connects over 350 destinations through a combination of freighter flights, interline agreements, and commercial routes. Under Elias’s leadership, the company will continue pursuing fleet expansion, route diversification, and deeper digital transformation of its logistics services.

The airline remains committed to operational efficiency and adherence to international standards, offering more than 220 dedicated cargo flights and over 1,400 belly-capacity operations.

In the two years leading up to his appointment, Elias spearheaded initiatives that helped position Avianca Cargo among the world’s top six cargo airlines, according to the ACNA index—the only Latin American company to make the list. His leadership played a key role in expanding the carrier’s network in strategic markets, especially in the United States, where Avianca Cargo now connects a record 25 destinations directly from Miami.

With over 20 years of experience in strategic and commercial roles, Elias holds degrees in Business and Operations Management, along with an MBA from the University of Michigan.
