3. About this Report

To continue advancing in terms of accountability and strengthening corporate transparency, Avianca Holdings S.A. presents its sixth Sustainability Report. This document gathers some of the most important achievements, milestones and lessons learned from the 2014 management of the Avianca Holdings’ companies. For the past two years, the Organization has reported its operating companies’ financial, social and environmental actions through sustainability reports that follow the guidelines set forth in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guide. This report follows the GRI G4 Guideline indicators with the general standard disclosure option of “in accordance” and includes a description of the process for determining materiality. All areas of the Organization participated in gathering and verifying information for this report, under the coordination of the Social Responsibility area, accompanied by the external consulting firm Constructores de Responsabilidad y Ética Organizacional (CREO).

Relevant Topics Avianca Holdings S.A. companies defined the content of this 2014 sustainability report based on the relevant topics that were internally identified and prioritized, which will be validated with the stakeholders in 2015 and 2016. Four document sources were used to identify the relevant topics:

4. Avianca Holdings’ Commitment to its Shareholders Transparency being an essential imperative, in 2014 Avianca Holdings S.A. continued its efforts to guarantee that company employees kept the corporate values alive and to strengthen the mechanisms for timely information disclosure to the market. During the past year, the Organization made a series of adjustments and carried out important actions aimed at compliance with the requirements of the American financial system, given that, for the issuance and placement of American Depositary Shares (ADS) in November 2013, Avianca Holdings S.A. inscribed itself with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and lists its ADS on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Trading in this important market has led to the Organization making a commitment to adhere to the corporate rules and regulations and practices applicable to Foreign Stock Issuers, which demand carrying out the following actions, among others: Anticorruption Policy (G4 – 56) It establishes rules of conduct applicable to all employees to guarantee compliance with, among others, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other current anticorruption laws and regulations applicable to countries where the Avianca Holdings S.A. companies operate. The above policy complements the Código de Ética y Normas de Conducta de los Negocios (Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations) that governs the Organization, which was adopted by the Board of Directors in February 2013. In this context, Zero Tolerance was declared for any action that may be considered bribery or any other corrupt action. Since its adoption, a sensitization campaign was developed for disseminating the Anticorruption Policy and the Modifications to the Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations. The main topics regulated by the Anticorruption Policy are: - Provisions regarding employee conduct and handling relations with government officials and private sector providers; and - Provisions regarding books and records that guarantee the disclosure of reliable financial statements.

Insider Trading Policy and Procedure It is aimed at regulating stock negotiations and the use of important confidential information by officers from the Holding Company and officers from the Holding Company’s subsidiaries. This Policy complements the Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations section “The Improper Use of Confidential Information”; it establishes restrictions on negotiating or tipping important confidential information. The main topics regulated by the Insider Trading Policy and Procedure include: - Restrictions on stock negotiations or disclosing important confidential information. Negotiations include the purchase, sale, donation or any other transaction involving Organization shares listed in the public stock exchange - Defined time frames for officers to negotiate Organization shares within each fiscal year; and - The procedure for officers to buy or sell shares from the Holding Company’s subsidiaries. Adjustments to Corporate Governance Documents Aimed at adopting some governance practices applicable to foreign stock issuers with shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange, some modifications were made to the following documents: The Good Corporate Governance Code, and Rules and Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Shareholder’s Assembly, the Avianca Holdings S.A. Auditing Committee and the Avianca S.A. Auditing Committee. Modifications to the Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations (G4 – 56) The Code contains the values, principles, and rules and regulations that guide the reciprocal actions of the Organization and of its employees, actions among employees, and toward the customers and the community at large, which includes any obligations stemming from local and international laws and regulations applicable to the subsidiaries as well as to the employees in each country where they operate and provide services. The Organization developed dissemination campaigns for the Modifications made to the Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations, as it is customary whenever modifications are made to such documents; also, in 2014, direct employees had access to the e-learning course on the Code, which closed the year with 12,423 certified employees. There is no obligation to certify knowledge on the Code except for new employees as part of their orientation process. Furthermore, aimed at ensuring greater transparency in handling the Ethics Line, third party reception of employee, customer and provider questions, complaints and grievances was approved regarding the violation of the Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations, plus allegations regarding unethical conduct by employees, administrators or third parties. Through the Ethics Line, employees, customers and providers can report, in an open, confidential or anonymous manner, suspicions of violations of the Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations, the Anticorruption Policy, or any other rules and regulations, policies or behavior standards. The Ethics Code and Business Conduct Rules and Regulations were complemented, adding the following items: - The Improper Use of Privileged Information - Impartiality and Conflicts of Interest - Provider, Contractor and Customer Relations. Governance Structure (G4-34) (G4-39) The Organization has a Corporate Governance structure that guarantees straight- forward, transparent administrative management and is governed by the Good Corporate Governance Code, which contains the rules of conduct applicable to the Organization’s Administrators.

Costs invested in fuel purchases increased near 1.51%, from USD 1,325.7 million in 2013 to USD 1,345.7 million in 2014.

Management Report Besides the above agreements, the Holding Company has more than 100 current interline commercialization agreements with other airlines on five continents plus an intermodal agreement with the railway company Renfe in Spain. Also, frequent flyers benefited from frequent flyer program reciprocity agreements with 27 Star Alliance member airlines, including , Air , and Lufthansa, among others, and frequent flyer program benefit exchange agreements with Iberia and Aeroméxico.

Advances in Process Homologation

AeroGal In order to offer better, more convenient response times, thus optimizing the time that clients spend at all of the contact points and bettering their experience, the airline developed the Business Transformation Project (ETP, its acronym in Spanish), which enabled standardizing the following processes: ticket inventory, issuance, and sales; check-in; boarding; baggage handling; operational issues; and revenue optimization. Furthermore, one sole technological platform was adopted, procedures for entering Star Alliance were aligned, and changes in the image and in customer service were implemented using the trademark .

During 2014 the airline also made important achievements on other action fronts:

- International Operations. During the second half of 2014 international operations to Panama, Aruba, Viru Viru (Bolivia), and Curacao were added to the service portfolio, which led to increased revenues and a broader route network supply.

- Transfer to the Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de Quito (NAIQ) (New Quito International Airport). The different company areas worked jointly to recover optimum On Time Performance percentages as well as optimum service during the NAIQ operation. The action plans carried out throughout the year allowed gradual improvement of the arrival time indicator and of the itinerary compliance indicator during this move that resulted in better customer service.

- Ground Operations. In recent years efforts have been made to standardize ramp processes. The end of 2014 boasted homologated training, aircraft cleaning procedures, baggage claim, and service provision, among others. In addition, projects, such as the supply of drinking water, assistance to flights operated by TACA International, TACA Perú, and Star Alliance member airlines were carried out; they represented significant savings for Avianca Holding S.A.

Avianca Holdings’ Commitment to Safety (G4 – PR1) The operations of the Avianca Holdings companies are based on Safety, a fundamental value in the air transportation industry. Following that principle, the companies work pursuant to the guidelines set forth in the Operational Safety Management System that in turn is governed by regulatory demands and directives set forth by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

In compliance with the Operational Safety Management System, decision making processes related to operations design, execution, and improvement have been optimized. Also, the culture of operational safety has been reinforced thanks to the creation and implementation of an integral safety policy, as well as the dissemination of the personnel´s operational safety duties and responsibilities. Indeed, the level of the employee´s intervention in said system is explained in detail based on his or her role in the hierarchical structure of the organization, thus enabling effective operational risk management and continuous improvement along with operational growth. Some of the achievements made using this system include:

- Operational Safety Management System Documentation. In 2014, the Operational Safety Management System manuals and corresponding procedures were updated, in order to ensure ever better operational risk management –the identification of hazards and the treatment of risks and their potential consequences-. In addition, the company obtained ISO 9001 certification for the Operational Safety Management System. - Operational Safety Report Program. In 2014, the number of safety reports increased 24.5% as compared to the year before, reaching a record number of 6,400 events, out of which 89% were classified in the category of acceptable, tolerable risk; that figure shows the important progress made in the culture of prevention. - Operational Risk Analysis. After process implementation, diverse risk analyses were made in key projects as well as initiatives aimed at identifying and mitigating potential hazards in the operations before said projects were implemented; that was done when the Boeing 787-8 fleet was incorporated as well as with the decision to use regulated temperature containers, among others. - Operational Safety Inspections. The company continued inspections at the airports where the subsidiary airlines currently operate, aimed at identifying any condition that is a risk to operations and managing it with the aeronautics authorities, in order to drive the adoption of risk management measures. - Job Performance Evaluation and Operational Risk Management Monitoring. With the implementation of the Operational Safety control board, decision making processes regarding proper human resource assignment to ensure safe operations have been reinforced. Also, the level of top management empowerment regarding Operational Safety management has increased, with an evident evolution that has permitted effective monitoring to verify meeting the Avianca Holdings´ safety objectives. - Promotion of Operational Safety. In addition to giving initial and recurring Operational Safety training, virtual training, with access for all of the subsidiaries’ employees has been developed. Also, communications channels aimed at different levels of the Avianca Holdings companies were established, resulting in increased awareness of the need to proactively identify operational risks and keep the culture of safety in mind while performing duties. Among the safety promotion media, it is worth highlighting the Safety Committee that enables an effective two-way communication flow between the line personnel and top management.

Cargo Transportation and Courier Service Airline Line of Investment Results Avianca Cargo’s cargo operation, along with the national cargo transportation service in Colombia for express courier service dispatches, transportation of packages and merchandise, afforded by the business unit Deprisa – ascribed under Avianca S.A.- consolidate another one of the organization’s lines of investment; this one represents 11% of Avianca Holdings’ consolidated revenues. Cargo Transportation Avianca Cargo, the brand under which the Avianca Holdings cargo business line operates, has the mission of mobilizing goods and merchandise, using cargo planes operated by Tampa Cargo S.A.S. and/or using the available capacity on passenger transportation flights. Some of the highlights of the 2014 achievements were:

- Capacity and Fleet. In 2014 Avianca Cargo recorded a 17% growth in ATK capacity7 as compared to 2013. It was mainly due to a 25% increase in the cargo plane fleet, propitiated by more Airbus

7 Available Metric Ton per Kilometer A330F aircraft operations than in 2013 when the mixed fleet (Airbus A330F, Boeing B767-300, and B767-200 aircraft) was still in operation. At 2014 closing, a fleet of four A330F and of one B767-300 was operating. Likewise, the capacity for cargo on passenger planes also recorded an increase, 8%, mainly driven by the addition of the wide-body aircraft routes. The fleet of A330-200F aircraft, specially designed for the transportation of perishable goods and with a capacity of up to 68 metric tons, allows simultaneously transporting goods of various natures, thanks to the system of temperature control by area in those aircraft.

- Cargo Volumes. The cargo volumes in RTK8 transported by the cargo business recorded a growth of 25%, mainly concentrated on the following routes: Bogotá-Miami, Medellín-Miami, Lima- Miami, and Miami–Brazil.

- Service Portfolio. In 2014 the Special Products portfolio strengthened thanks to the expansion of the network for “valuable cargo” transportation, after the certification and qualification of the London, Tegucigalpa, La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra stations. This product was introduced on the Peruvian domestic market, enabling the transportation of valuables among the cities of Lima, Cuzco, Arequipa, Chiclayo, Trujillo, Piura, and Juliaca.

- Infrastructure o Bogotá Cold Store Floor. In 2014 the Bogotá cold store floor started being changed; it was updated with a ball transfer system floor that gives better operating efficiency in terms of cargo mobilization and storage and reduces the work accident rate in the area by 100% as compared to the previous system. In January 2015 the project was completed; the total investment was USD 765,000. o Edificio 708 (Building 708). The Bogotá warehouse installed capacity increased 24% by renting additional space, which enables proper handling of the present cargo volume. This space now allows attending up to three aircraft simultaneously. The annual cost is USD 700,000. o Cooling Tower. In August the Avianca Cargo cooling tower in Miami was changed; the work cost USD 130,000. The investment represented the efficient guarantee of the cold chain process. o Warehouses in North America. The contracts with warehouse service providers in North America were unified, representing an annual savings of USD 280,000.

At December 31, 2014 the cargo fleet comprised a total of nine aircraft, out of which six are being operated and three are being subleased, as is shown below.

Total Cargo Fleet Owned/under Aircraft Airline Operating Lease Total Financial Lease Airbus A330-200F Tampa Cargo 5 - 5 Airbus A330-200F Avianca 1 - 1 Boeing 767-300F Tampa Cargo - 1 1 Boeing 767-200F Tampa Cargo - 2 2 TOTAL 6 3 9

At the end of the period, Avianca Cargo had an operating fleet of four Airbus A330-200F and one Boeing 767-300F aircraft. And one Airbus A330-200F aircraft was grounded.

11 Information taken from the Avianca S.A. Annual Report 6. Avianca Holdings’ Commitment to Its Strategic Partners In its search for new synergies, to build alliances and renew evaluation and development methodologies, Avianca Holdings S.A. continued strengthening relations of trust with its providers, strategic partners with whom it made negotiations in the amount of USD $1,523,72312.

Providers of non-technical services to the Avianca Holdings companies represented a group of 3,167 companies and organizations during the second half of 2014. Although the companies integrated under the Holding do not have a defined policy for the use of local providers, 58.6% of non-technical purchases were negotiated with companies located in the HUBS (Colombia, El Salvador and Peru) where the Avianca Holdings operating companies conduct their operations (G4- EC9) Provider Evaluation and Development Program This program covers the relation that the Avianca Holdings operating companies have with their strategic partners, including selection, evaluation, monitoring, auditing, and accompanying them throughout the supply chain. In 2014 Avianca Holdings opened a space for good practice exchange initiatives, which contributed new focuses and ideas for the program projects: 1. Networking. For this activity, Avianca S.A. was the host in association with the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce. It generated a network with 13 other large companies in Colombia for provider evaluation; some of the best experiences regarding the topic were shared and this space promoted a community for the exchange of knowledge, contacts and experiences. 2. Collaborative networking. Provider development being the common denominator, Isagen summoned several large Colombian companies for the purpose of sharing efforts and lessons learned on the topic. Avianca Holdings S.A. participated in the meetings held in 2014, during which the Avianca Holdings companies started developing various work fronts, to take advantage of the benefits offered by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, aimed at driving

12 The amount of the purchases was only available for the second half of 2014 because Avianca Holdings S.A. changed its Enterprise Resource Planning ERP, which is a set of information systems that enable integrating certain company operations, especially those that regard production, logistics, inventories, dispatches, and accounting. In 2014 Avianca Holdings S.A. migrated its operations to Oracle ERP Solutions; that is why, some of the data published in this chapter only includes data from the second semester of that year.

Provider development. This initiative also generated an improved methodology and scoring system for the assessment model in place; the changes will be reflected in 2015. 3. Provider Development Pilot Program in alliance with the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce (CCB is the Colombian acronym). Making a diagnosis of their company, led by the CCB, participating providers identify gaps and opportunities for improvement in their development process and enjoy the necessary accompaniment to be able to successfully work on the gaps identified, enhance their capabilities, and validate their business conditions as well as their potential for internationalization, all for free. The 10 companies that participated were selected by the Avianca Holdings S.A. Administration and Purchasing Directorate based on their performance and the need for support as identified in the evaluations that had been made. Provider Evaluation and Acknowledgements to Providers Currently the Organization highlights the members of its supply chain with the greatest impact on the processes of the Avianca Holdings operating companies and those that obtain the highest scores according to the evaluation criteria that include:

- Business Management Indicators. These indicators serve to verify compliance with specific requirements, such as compliance with labor matters, among them: payroll payments, training, occupational health and occupational safety. - Business Management Auditing. This covers compliance with the provisions in the “Master Requirements Form” and in the corresponding contract. In 2014 a total of 19 Business Management Audits were conducted. - Technical Indicators.

Fleet Renewal (G4 – EN27) Avianca has the most modern fleet in the region. At the end of 2014 each aircraft in the fleet aircraft had been manufactured 5.4 years before, on an average. This year, 31 new aircraft have been incorporated into the Company fleet:

 4 B787-8  6 A319  2 A320  6 A321  3 A330  10 ATR72 The Avianca Holdings’ companies continued the fleet aircraft renewal, simplification and streamlining process by incorporating 31 aircraft with environment friendly technology. Fuel Saving Strategies

ENGINE AND AIRCRAFT WASHING Washing the engines and the aircraft more often controls the layer of grease generated by regular use, which restricts the entry of air into the combustion chamber, leading to increased engine temperatures and a less efficient combustion process. Also, washing the aircraft improves its aerodynamic processes by eliminating resistance, which results in lower fuel consumption.

APU/GPU OPTIMIZATION The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a third engine in charge of IDLE REVERSE ON providing the aircraft with LANDING electricity, hydraulic pressure, On long runways, landing and air conditioning; it uses A1 can be done without having jet fuel. The Ground Power Unit the engine expel air forward, (GPU) provides the aircraft with in order to slow down and electricity while it is at the use its breaks.

REDUCED FLAP TAKE-OFF There are three (3) possible flap configurations for take-off. Flaps are part of the wings and, by changing positions, they enable the aircraft to increase or reduce air resistance. When runway conditions allow, the flap configuration can be adjusted, in order to optimize fuel consumption by reducing air resistance at take-off.

OVERFUELING The actual amount of fuel THRUST REDUCTION supplied to the aircraft is ALTITUDE monitored, aimed at avoiding REDUCED FLAP LANDING an excess of fuel over the Reducing engine power at an When runway conditions altitude of 1,500 feet during amount established in the allow, a configuration below take-off minimizes the time fueling order as it indicates the Full Flaps is used upon during which the aircraft flies amount of fuel required for the landing, to reduce air at full power, which reduces scheduled flight segment and resistance and thus optimize any additional fuel pursuant to fuel consumption and engine fuel consumption. wear and tear. applicable law.

SINGLE ENGINE TAXI In airports where the boarding gate is far from the runway, single engine taxying is used. When the aircraft is leaving the airport, this strategy is called Single Engine Taxi Out and when the aircraft is arriving at the airport, it is called Single Engine Taxi In.

Fuel Consumption (G4-EN3) In 2014, fuel consumption increased 5.10% as compared to the year before. Said increase was related to the companies’ adding routes to their network and to increased frequencies. Also, an increase in thermal value is directly proportionate to an increase in fuel consumption. In that same year, the seat capacity measured in Available Seats per Kilometer (ASK) increased 5.9%, and passenger traffic capacity measured in Revenue Passengers per Kilometer (RPK) increased 4.5%, ending the year with a consolidated seat occupancy factor of 79.4%.

Aircraft Fleet Emissions According to studies conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

(IPCC), out of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by man, the aviation industry produces around 2%; plus, it is estimated that the worldwide demand for passenger flights will have increased 5% per year from 1990 to 2015, whereas the total consumption of aircraft fuel (passenger transportation, cargo, and military operations) will have increased 3% per year. The above is mainly due thanks to improvements in aircraft efficiency. By investing in new technologies and in developing proper operational procedures, the aviation industry has kept its gas emissions from growing proportionately to the increasing number of passengers transported, an average 5% per year.

In 2014, the absolute value of CO2 emissions showed an increase of 4.85% as compared to those of the previous year. Such increase was the result of the Holding Company’s subsidiaries’ growing operational activities. The emissions were calculated using a JET A1 density of 3,0972 kg/gl and an emission factor of 3.15 CO2 ton/fuel ton.

CO2 Emissions by Ground Equipment at the Bogotá Station In 2014, CO2 emissions at the Bogotá station were reduced by 3.58%, thanks to the some of the combustion-powered equipment having been replaced by electrical equipment. Approximately 40 pieces of electrical equipment have been incorporated into operations in the past 5 years.

Noise In accordance with its commitment to the aviation industry, the Holding Company continues working toward reducing the impact generated by aircraft noise. In average, new aircraft produce 50% less noise than aircraft built 10 years ago, according to information furnished by Boeing and by Airbus; and it is calculated that new generation aircraft noise emissions have been reduced 15% as compared to the previous generation. Mandatory Noise Reduction The United Nations intergovernmental body, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) introduced a new noise limit standard in 2006 called Chapter 4, aimed at guaranteeing that new aircraft will be 10 decibels lower than those built under Chapter 3 specifications. Said standard is part of a series of measures for optimizing the noise level of reaction engines. ICAO calculates that the number of people exposed to air traffic noise was reduced by 35% in the entire world from 1998 to 2004. It is worth mentioning that all Avianca aircraft (A318/ A319/ A320/ A330/ ATR72/ Boeing 787) are STAGE 4 noise level certified. This categorization is issued by the aircraft manufacturer. Thus, Avianca has shown that it has state-of-the-art technology for air industry operations, and that it is in compliance with noise reduction procedures at airports as defined by the aeronautics authority. Furthermore, the single engine taxi out and single engine taxi in, mainly aimed at saving fuel, also reduces the noise impact on the population, as one engine is shut off.

Waste (G4-EN23) The Avianca Holdings subsidiaries generate two types of waste: conventional waste and hazardous waste. They manage waste using the Integral Waste Management Plan aimed at preventing negative environmental impact. Non-hazardous Waste CONVENTIONAL WASTE RECYCLED (IN TONS)

In 2014 a total of 571.8 tons of ordinary waste were recycled; 32.1% more than the previous year. This was made possible thanks to more coverage in the dissemination of recycling strategies and of employee sensitization strategies regarding the importance of environmental protection. For example, the art expo “Entre la conversión y la metamorfosis” (“Between conversion and metamorphosis”) gathered 14 contemporary artists who used cardboard, paper, plastic, metal, and wood to make their art pieces.

Remuneration The job description is the basis for defining salary allocation, compensation, and remuneration for the different posts. This process also takes into account the criteria of performance results, problem solving, and skills, in order to keep a balance between market values and the value that the Avianca Holdings companies allocate to each post. The Hay Group method is used for this evaluation; it is based on a system of profiles and scales:

 The result of the evaluation analysis states the total number of points for the post and its weight within the Organization.  Using this result, the salary compensation is allocated for the post, ensuring that it is established according to the principles of equity and competitiveness. Every year the Avianca Holdings companies acquire applicable market salary scales for each country or region and internal compensation studies are updated, in order to detect any need for salary adjustment and to identify and compare salary allocations to the market situation.

2014 Salary Adjustments Country Description

 The best paid post showed an increase of 1.94% as compared to an average salary variation of 18.55% for the other posts.

Advance Notice (G4-LA4) Country Description

There is no legal minimum term of number of weeks for advance notice to workers and their elected representatives, before implementing substantial changes in the organization, which may affect them. However, in the operating areas each leader communicates Operations Plan Peru changes to his or her teams before they are put into practice. Also, in the current collective bargaining agreement signed with Sindicato Único de Trabajadores de Trans American Airlines (Trans American Airlines Workers Unique Trade Union), there is a job security clause that states that the trade union must be informed in advance of group layoffs. A minimum term of nine weeks is required for the employer to request that the Labor Authority grant a dismissal action in the case of Ecuador non-renewal of a fixed-term contract. If the notice is for contract termination due to non-compliant performance during the trial period, the notice can be issued as late as the very day on which the trail period term is completed. Also, when contract termination is due to the employer’s unilateral decision, no grace period or advance notice is necessary; notice can be given on the same day on which the contract is terminated.

The employer’s advance notice to employees was excluded because there Venezuela is no legal figure of dismissal without just cause.

In matters of work contracts, employees must give a thirty-day advance notice when they wish to leave the company and employers must give Bolivia employees a ninety-day advance notice to employees who have worked three consecutive months or more. The party who fails to give advance notice will pay an amount equal to the salary for the established periods.

Labor law provides that workers and employers alike can resort to unilateral work contract termination, observing the following terms:  Workers who wish to leave the company must give a fifteen-day advance notice.  Employers who wish to dismiss an employee must give an advance Argentina notice, the term of which is based on the worker’s time in the company:  fifteen days if the worker is in the trail period.  one month if the worker has been in the company for up to five years.  two months if the worker has been in the company for more than five years. The legal advance term for a company to notify dismissal must be equal to Brazil or more than thirty days if the contract so specifies. In the case of dismissal with just cause, no advance notice is necessary.

Either of the parties to an indefinite term contract can terminate it with advance notice to the other party, the term of which is determined according to the following:  thirty days if the worker has completed the trial period and has up to one year of service  forty-five days if the worker has more than one year and up to five years of service  sixty days if the worker has more than five years and up to ten years of service  ninety days if the worker has more than ten years of service. If the worker continues working during the advanced notice term, such term will be included when calculating the worker’s time of service.

Uruguay There is no legal term for advance notice either for the employer or the employee to terminate a work relation.

Advance notice of dismissal varies according to the employee’s time of service: Costa Rica  4 weeks if the employee has been in the company one year or more.  2 weeks if the employee has been in the company less than one year but more than six months.  1 week if the employee has been in the company less than six months. There are no legally established terms for advance notice; however, the Mexico terms are normally established by the workers’ trade union involved.

Colombian law eliminated advance notice terms and the Organization has Colombia no policy relating to that matter.

Guatemala and The minimum advance notice term is one day. Honduras

The advance notice term is nine weeks; it only applies if operational North changes affect 33% of the employees and it would only apply to the America employees on the Tampa Cargo payroll, not to the other employees in the region.

Safety and Occupational Health For employee health and safety management, the Avianca Holdings companies use the Safety Management System, aligned with International Civil Aviation Organization standards (ICAO). It comprises mechanisms that enable identifying the hazards associated with the activities that each of the Avianca Holdings operating companies carries out, preparing risk assessment s, and establishing protocols, duties, responsibilities and activities aimed at strengthening a safety culture for the performance of all of their operations.

Health and Safety Committees (G4-LA5) The Health and Safety Committees, led by the Safety, Health and Environment Management Office, are a participation mechanism where all direct hire employees are represented. It channels their suggestions and contributions for compliance with health, safety and environmental objectives. Pursuant to the law in each country, these committees are made up of representatives designated by the directing officers of the operating companies and of a group chosen by the employees; in some cases, the latter are determined by election. Where there are no norms regarding the composition of such committees, the subsidiaries have proactively created work teams, thus enabling interlocutors among the dependencies and the Safety, Health and Environment Office, and the teams also help carry out scheduled prevention activities. The functions of these committees focus on giving support to the management of the Avianca Holdings operating companies concerning topics of workplace risk prevention, the promotion of safety and occupational health, and communication between the employees and the company regarding workplace safety and occupational health. The data shown in the table below corresponds to the employees who work for the companies Avianca, Tampa Cargo, Aerogal, Trans American Air Lines S.A., Taca International, Taca Costa Rica, Star, Lacsa and Aviateca, located in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico, respectively.

Colombia and Europe Region The Safety and Occupational Health Committees (one for Avianca and one for Tampa Cargo) are comprised of an equal number of company representatives and employee representatives; the latter are elected by vote.

 Make safety inspections.  Give support to work accident investigations.  Oversee and participate in the Safety and Occupational Functions Health Management System (SG-SST is the Colombian acronym).  Propose and participate in accident prevention activities.  Serve as an employee participation and consultation body.

Thanks to the reporting culture throughout the Organization, the data used to calculate this index includes all of the events, even those that did not generate disability or those that only required one day for the pertinent medical attention, which represent 54% of the total number of reported events. That means that, out of the total number of events during the year, 46% required more than two days of disability. The work-related accident injury index, including all of the stations for which there is information17 indicates that, for every 200,000 man hours, men had approximately three work-related accidents and women had five. The indicator was higher than in 2013 due to an increase in employee reports, as part of the campaigns for sensitization and strengthening a Safety Culture within the Avianca Holdings subsidiaries. To reduce the number of work-related accidents causing injuries, joint efforts with the areas are being made to develop effective protection measures and to continue reinforcing a culture of self-protection and of protecting others.

16 Calculation: (number of work-related accidents / total number of man hours) * 200,000 17 The recorded data corresponds to employees who work for the companies Avianca, Tampa, Aerogal, Trans American Air Lines S.A., Taca International, TTS, Taca Costa Rica, Star and Lacsa located in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Costa Rica, and El Salvador, respectively. The data for contractors was not included in this indicator. The Workplaces Where Most Accidents Occurred

Measures Adopted

• 61% of the reported events occurred inside the aircraft and 40% of them were due to an employee hitting a part of the body against the aircraft or against on-board elements. To reduce such injuries, efforts are being made with the operational areas, thus generating improvement plans and prevention measures such as Colombia a review of the elements purchased for on-board service, procedue adjustments, a review of protection measures, follow- up on the indicators, employee training, designs according to ergonomic standards, and a review of personal protection equipment, among others.

• 42% of the events occurred inside the aircraft and 76% of them were due to an employee hitting a part of the body against pieces of equipment. In this region there is outstanding support from the Safety and Occupational Health Committees for South investigating the events. The area chiefs have become more empowered and they are the ones who disseminate the lessons America learned from the events. In addition, during this year there was an event that resulted in an employee's death; it was caused by a road accident on the way to work. The Organization is working on a road safety program to reduce the probability of the occurrence of this type of event.

• 41% of the events occurred on the ramp and out of them 44% involved blows and 44% sprains. As part of the measures implemented to reduce such events, the Organization has sought Central to improve personal protection measures for processes America associated with standard aircraft design issues. Also, the importance of a safe behavior has been reinforced among the employees, as has the culture of safety that the Organization promotes.

It is now one of the main national cultural treasures. Currently comprising 368 works of art (paintings, sculptures, engravings, and drawings, among others), this extraordinary legacy is kept carefully organized, classified, and under custody. Its interest in supporting art in all its forms has led the Company to decide to share this artwork with the public. Through an alliance with the Bogotá Modern Art Museum (MAMBO), which manages part of the collection through a commodatum agreement, art expos are being held, to encourage interaction with students, scholars, businessmen, experts, and occasional visitors, through activities that empower the spirit.
