Currently, the Conviasa makes commercial flights to Viru Viru (Bolivia), Cancún, Toluca, and Santa Lucía (Mexico), Moscow (Russia), Panama, and Havana (Cuba). These last two destinations provide connections to Managua (Nicaragua).
Conviasa also flies to Guayaquil and Quito (Ecuador), Lima (Peru), Madrid (Spain), Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires (Argentina).
At the end of April, direct flights began between Venezuela and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, as part of the strengthening of relations between the two countries, both members of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA_TCP).
