To make this template more effective, I have made the following changes:

• Converted style of template so it can be edited from the template on any page on which it is located
• 'Associated airlines' (which was linked to subsidiary), has been renamed to 'Subsidiaries' and only those airlines which fulfill the definition of a subsidiary are listed. The term 'associated' implies that Avianca has a shareholding in the companies which were listed (Ocean Air, VIP and Capital Airlines), and it is not a shareholder, they all share common ownership.
• 'Defuncted airlines' has been changed to simply 'History'; 'defuncted airlines' is not proper English. WayraPeru has been removed, as it was not an entity which preceded Avianca, nor was it a subsidiary
• 'Related companies' has been reduced to a single link and renamed to 'Parent company'; the other 2 wikilinks in this section all redirected to the link which remains anyway.
• The website URL has been removed. Navbox templates are meant for easy navigation of directly related articles on WP, not as a promotional tool for an entity, and most certainly not for external links.
• Category has been changed to Category:Airline navigational boxes from Category:Aviation navigational boxes --Россавиа ^Диалог 21:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-03-21T21:46:00.000Z","author":"Russavia","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Russavia-2008-03-21T21:46:00.000Z-Changes_made_to_the_template","replies":["c-Frapoz-2009-11-23T20:47:00.000Z-Russavia-2008-03-21T21:46:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u0420\u043e\u0441\u0441\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0430"}}-->

• The airline doesn't operate as Aviateca, it operates as Regional, also AEROMAN doesn't belong to TACA anymore, it was sold to the AVEOS group.Frapoz (talk) 20:47, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-23T20:47:00.000Z","author":"Frapoz","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Frapoz-2009-11-23T20:47:00.000Z-Russavia-2008-03-21T21:46:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

The Avianca portal was recently deleted. I've removed the red link from the template.
