Avianca enters the 757 into service.
In 1990, AVIANCA made the Boeing 757 available to its passengers. Initially, there were two 757s that were added to the 11 McDonnell Douglas Md-83s, also acquired through a leasing agreement with Guinness Peat Aviation (CPA). At the end of the year, then, the company would be made up of these 13 recently introduced aircraft, plus two 767s and the six existing Boeing 727-200s. The 757 directly replaced the 707, and it operated 21 of these planes from 1990 to 2010.
