LONDON, Oct. 16, 2024 – Following the fulfillment of applicable precedent conditions and the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals, Wamos Air, a global leader in wet lease aircraft services, is now part of the Abra Group. This transaction was completed in accordance with the agreement reached in May between the Abra Group and Wamos Air.

Like Avianca and Gol, current members of the Group, Wamos Air will continue—just as it has for over 21 years—to maintain its leadership, brand, talent, teams, culture, and operations, serving dozens of clients around the world independently, while benefiting from greater efficiencies and scale by joining the Abra Group.

“We are very pleased to announce that the strategic investment in Wamos Air by our Group is now a reality. This development is consistent with Abra’s consolidation strategy, which seeks to bring together iconic companies. The airlines in our group, such as Avianca and Gol, are leaders in their markets and business models, so welcoming Wamos Air makes perfect sense and aligns with our goal of better connecting Latin America to the world in a simple, accessible, reliable, and sustainable way, with a fleet of over 300 aircraft to serve more than 130 destinations in over 25 countries across the Americas and Europe, with a team of nearly 30,000 people,” said Adrian Neuhauser, CEO of the Abra Group.

“We are very satisfied to have completed this transaction, which marks the beginning of a new chapter for Wamos Air. The Abra Group is a key industry reference, and we are extremely proud to say that, as of today, we are part of it.
This is an exciting journey ahead for the company, allowing us to pursue new business strategies, growth, and consolidation while continuing to focus on our wet lease business, flying for the world’s leading airlines,” said Enrique Saiz, CEO of Wamos Air.

“With this investment, we officially welcome Wamos Air to our Group. We know that their leadership and expertise will greatly contribute to further consolidating Abra as one of the leading air transport groups in Latin America,” said Constantino de Oliveira Junior, Chairman of the Abra Group.
