No. The operating carrier gets paid a fixed amount from Avianca. How much Aviance is getting from Lifemiles members is a different story. As long as overall Lifemiles is making more cash from selling miles than Aviance has to settle flights for, your "discounted" routes don't bring down the whole program.
