Has anyone confirmed the VivaColombia Mayday yet?
Just checked the FR24 playback, it seems it was actually a Viva Colombia flight Bogota - San Andres that diverted to Medellin. And on the playback it does appear the crash flight went into a hold to let them in...could be an absolutely tragic coincidence that the Viva flight arrived just as they did.

But of course if they didn't have enough fuel for 2 cicuits in the hold at their destination...
