NEW YORK & BOGOTA, Colombia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today the Hon. Anil C. Singh stayed all discovery in Kingsland Holdings Ltd.’s lawsuit attempting to prevent Avianca Holdings S.A.’s strategic alliance with United Airlines.
In doing so, the Court rejected Kingsland’s request for expedited discovery, which Avianca believes was intended solely to derail the Company’s negotiations with United. Avianca continues to explore an alliance with United, a critical component of the Company’s strategy to become the leading Latin American airline.
Avianca is pleased with today’s outcome and looks forward to the Court’s consideration of its motion to dismiss Kingsland’s lawsuit. Avianca believes the lawsuit is entirely baseless and without merit.
