Avianca’s policy for children traveling alone is notably straightforward: the airline does not offer an unaccompanied minor service on any of its flights. This means children aged 14 and younger are not permitted to travel by themselves and must be with an adult who is over 18 years old.

Youths who are 15 years old or older are allowed to fly alone without a special service. Because airline policies can be updated, you should always confirm the current rules directly with Avianca when you plan your trip.
