  1. I think the best thing would be to make the agreement with JetSmart. With Avianca and Latam, only one competitor would be eliminated and the presence of two already strong airlines in the market would grow.. Jetsmart and Viva are very similar in aircraft types, operation, etc. With JetSmart a competitor is not eliminated and it does not affect the user as it would with Latam and Avianca.
