Yeferson Cossio held nothing back and issued a legal statement after Avianca's denunciation: this is what he said
On Sunday, March 29, 2026, Avianca issued a statement informing that a prominent Colombian influencer, on a flight from Bogota to Madrid, Spain, used a device that generated a chemical odor in the cabin.
TL;DR
- Avianca banned influencer Yeferson Cossio and cancelled his return flight due to a disruptive incident on the Bogota-Madrid route.
- The incident involved the use of a chemical odor-generating artifact, which affected the safety and comfort of the flight.
- Cossio claims the artifact activated accidentally and was not intended as a prank or content creation.
- He stated the device, a 'stink bomb', is not flammable, does not pose a risk to the aircraft, and its effect was brief and controlled.
- Cossio also alleged that some videos circulating about the incident are old and taken out of context.
- He plans to release a more detailed statement in a YouTube video.
