SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Airline Avianca Holdings AVT_p.CN came under broad criticism in Colombia for paying its top two executives $6 million in bonuses in May, at a time when the carrier had furloughed most of its employees without pay and was preparing a bankruptcy filing.

According to bankruptcy court documents submitted by Avianca itself, the airline paid Chief Executive Anco van der Werff $3.7 million and paid Chief Financial Officer Adrian Neuhauser $2.8 million on May 6.

Five days later, the airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S.

“Avianca is facing the most challenging crisis in our 100-year history,” van der Werff said at the time.
