After the war, SCADTA merged with Colombian regional carrier Colombian Air Service (), or SACO. Together, SCADTA and SACO formed Avianca - Aerovías Nacionales de Colombia, the Colombian flag-carrier. Avianca still operates to this day and claims SCADTA's history as its own, thus making it one of the world's oldest active airlines.
