Avianca provides support to passengers who have lost or misplaced personal belongings during their journey. Items may be left on board the aircraft, within airport terminals, or at airline service counters. Passengers can report lost items through the airline’s customer service channels or by contacting the airport’s lost property office.

Items Left on Board the Aircraft

Avianca instructs passengers who forgot an item on the plane to report it through the contact center or at the baggage office of the corresponding airport. Collection of recovered items requires identification and the boarding pass, or an authorization letter if another person will collect the item.

Items Lost at the Airport

Items misplaced in terminal facilities, gate areas, security control, or airport public spaces are handled by the airport’s own lost property office. Passengers must contact the specific airport authority when the missing article was not left inside the aircraft cabin.

Baggage-Related Lost Property

Avianca handles delayed, lost, damaged, or stolen baggage through its baggage irregularity process. The airline states that delayed baggage claims require a formal report and supporting travel documents. Its published baggage support materials also explain compensation handling and follow-up procedures for baggage cases.

Reporting a Lost Item

Passengers should report onboard items through Avianca’s contact center or the baggage office at the airport. For baggage incidents, the report must be created through the baggage service process so the airline can open a tracing record and communicate updates by reference number.

Recovery and Collection

Recovered property is released after identity verification. Avianca states that the passenger must present an ID and boarding pass, while an authorized representative must carry a signed authorization letter plus identification documents for both parties when collecting on behalf of the traveler.

Passenger Advice

Passengers should keep the reservation code, baggage tags, Property Irregularity Report (PIR) or baggage report reference, boarding pass, and identification documents until the matter is closed. Immediate reporting supports tracing, status updates, and compensation review where applicable.
