Hundreds of passengers were left stranded at airports in Colombia and Peru on Tuesday after low-cost airline Viva Air suspended operations due to financial difficulties. At Bogota's El Dorado airport, AFP reported seeing scores of unhappy passengers who had spent the night there, many of them sleeping on the floor while waiting for their flights. Other passengers were stranded at Lima and Cusco airports in Peru. The Civil Aviation Authority of Colombia said that flights to and from Lima, Mexico City and Cancun were affected. They also said that the airline had ceased operations due to "financial problems". Viva Air issued a statement saying that they were "working to resolve the situation as soon as possible" and that they were "doing everything in their power to ensure the safety and well-being of their passengers". The airline said that they were offering affected passengers full refunds or the option to rebook their flights for a later date. They also said that they were providing food, drinks and accommodation for those who were stranded. The Civil Aviation Authority of Colombia said that they were working with Viva Air to ensure that the airline is able to meet its obligations to its passengers. It is unclear when the airline will resume operations.
