Now, let me tell you the problem that hapenned. First the commander said that Congonhas Airport was closed beacus of the bad weather and that it`s flights were goint to GRU, so we would have to wait a little. After that Guarulhos Airport closed too, because of the weather, so, we again we entered in wait procedures. After some 3 turns over Santos the commander said we were goig to Rio Galeão, and there Avianca would see what would happen to us…
Landing at Rio de Janeiro GIG:
After some time waiting we unboarded and instructed to wait at gate 3 on Terminal:
Delta 767-400ER:
After that they (Avianca staff) didn`t know nothing about us, and after some time said that they were waiting for a tripulation to take us to SP. And so the airport energy went over:
So Avianca system went down and nobody knows nothing now. After a time, the lights come back and Avianca, after very discussions with us, gave a voucher for us, a dish of food at a restaurant in the airport, here`s the food:
It was delicious… After something like half hour after we finish our dinner they iniciated the boarding. So after something like 6 hours at the Rio (we reached about 5 P.M. and reacher the plane by 11:00 p.m) we were going back to SP.
Now boarded, we waited more half hour until some documents to fly were brought to the pilot. After they reach we taxied and take off:
The meal was composed of drinks and some peanuts (just peanuts because of the hour, and beacause we already ate, I think):
After 40 minutes we were landing Guarulhos:
After landed I got this picture of an A320 with the ney Avianca's livery:
So, it's that, I hope you enjoyed. Thank you for seeing!

Conclusion
Well, Avianca is a very good airline, that representes 8,5% of the domestic passengers in Brazil. She is small, but has very quality. Despite the meteriological problems it was a goos flight and I hope fly Avianca again. OBS: Rio Galeão isn't good!
0 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
Thanks for this report ! Very generous with the on-time perf grade. Wasn't it easier for Avianca to put everyone in a bus from Rio to SP ? With all the bus connecting the 2 cities, it could have been better. When I flew with O6 between Congonhas and Santos Dumont, we had a meal, not just a sandwich. Anyway, O6 is most of the time a good idea to travel in Brasil. Personally I prefer Azul. Obrigado :)
De nada cara! I prefer Avianca, cause I don't like the snacks that Azul offers. In the Sp-RIo they serve pancakes, don't they? Well, the bus takes 5 to 6 hours to make that... Are you brazilian, too?
On SP-RIo I had croquettas and a pudding. On the return it was a Misto Quente. I'm not Brazilian but my father lives in SP since i'm 12. I go there at least once a year and I love it :)
