4 measures, scored the same way for every airline we ticket.
Reliability & operations1/10
Viva Air Colombia suspended all flights on February 27, 2023 and grounded its whole fleet. ch-aviation counted five A320-200s and ten A320-200Ns active at suspension, but no on-time figure was confirmed. No flights have operated since that date, so no booking can be flown, and that holds this at the floor.

Comfort & experience3/10
Wikipedia describes it as an ultra low-cost airline, but no cabin names, seat pitch, seat width, wifi or meals were confirmed. With no published cabin facts there is nothing to measure, and no aircraft in service to sit in. That gap holds the score in the 3-4 band.

Value & network3/10
Destinations as of February 2023 included Colombian domestic points plus Buenos Aires, Punta Cana, CancĂșn, Mexico City, Lima, Miami and Orlando. No baggage allowance, fees or loyalty programme were confirmed, and the route map no longer flies. Unconfirmed bag and fee terms hold it at 3.

Professional airline rating3/10
No star rating, award or issuing body was found, so there is no professional benchmark to quote. The airline filed for insolvency in February 2023, and the Superintendency of Corporations announced liquidation on June 22, 2023. The missing rating from any named body holds this at 3.

How the score is built
- 4 measures, each scored out of 10
- The headline is the plain average of those measures, computed in the open
- Each measure is an editorial assessment based on the published facts and sources in the breakdown
- No airline pays to be rated, and no placement is sold
What we deliberately left out
- Safety. It is not a marketing metric and we will not rank carriers on it.
- Cancellation rate and fleet age. Omitted rather than estimated, until a sourced field exists for every airline.
- Any sub-metric we cannot attribute. An unsourced measure is dropped, not guessed.
- Blended third-party scores that mix in inputs we have already rejected elsewhere on this page.
