Holdings, the oldest and one of the largest airlines in Latin
America, has won the prestigious 2015 Red Hat Innovator of the Year
award. The company was recognized at Red Hat Summit 2015.

company's other IT solutions – well-positioning the airline for
future technology growth and innovation.
Named one of six finalists for Innovator of the Year by a panel
of industry expert judges, Avianca Holdings was ultimately selected
as the award winner by Red Hat Summit attendees and an online
community of voters. In addition to Avianca Holdings, the finalists
