Avianca celebrated 100 years on December 5, 2019. This retrojet was unveiled in late September 2019 and flew its first revenue flight in this livery from Bogota to Barranquilla, which saw the airline's very first flight in 1919 under the name of Scadta. The retro livery used is very similar to the one seen on a 757 and a MD-80 in the early 2000s on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the airline.

Painted in the airline's 1960s scheme. By late 2000 "80 Años" titles were added on the tail. The 757 was joined by the MD-83 in 2001. In the same way the tail was originally white and gained "80 Años" in due course.
