Narrative:
Avianca flight AV9752, an Airbus A320-214, made a low fuel landing during a diversion to Monteria.
The flight departed BOG at 18:30 local time (23:30 UTC) on a flight to Cartagena (CTG). The aircraft was fueled with a total of 5,578 kg of fuel for the flight, and Barranquilla Airport (SKBQ) was listed as an alternate.
The flight proceeded normally, and ATC informed the crew to expect an approach in Cartagena for runway 19. The aircraft began its descent and approach at 00:15 UTC. At 00:28 UTC, the aircraft was cleared to fly to the SINOB position for approach to runway 19, due to the presence of other traffic at the aerodrome. At the SINOB position, the aircraft held until 00:34 UTC. The crew noted that there was bad weather at the UTLOK position. Subsequently, landing at SKCG was authorized.
At 00:45 UTC, in short final, deteriorated weather conditions occurred with heavy rain and reduced visibility, leading the captain to decide to execute a go-around. The aircraft held at the SIMAB point and confirmed that the weather conditions at the alternate aerodrome, SKBQ, were also deteriorated.

At this point, the crew decided to proceed to Los Garzones Aerodrome (SKMR) in Montería, as it had good weather conditions.
After consuming the reserve fuel, at 01:02 UTC, the crew declared an emergency to ATC due to low fuel level. ATC gave instructions to proceed to runway 32 in Montería, and the aircraft landed at this aerodrome at 20:18 local time (01:18 UTC, Nov. 9) with a remaining 680 kg of fuel.
