The direct flight, scheduled at two week intervals, seeks to promote cooperation and commercial exchange between both nations.
The route also represents one of the new commercial opportunities included in the Venezuelan state consortium. Conviasa already has international flights to Bolivia, Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Iran, some of these restricted due to COVID-19 concerns.
