Conviasa to Reactivate its Caracas-Madrid Air Route

October 31, 2021

On Friday, October 29, the Venezuelan Consortium of Aeronautical Industries and Air Services (Conviasa) announced the reopening of its Caracas-Madrid air route, as several international airlines that had closed operations due to the pandemic have been gradually reactivating their flight schedules.

This information was provided by the deputy minister of air transport and president of Venezuela’s national airline, Ramón Velásquez Araguayán, in an interview with Venezolana de Televisión (VTV).

However, Velásquez Araguayán pointed out that the reopening depends on the Presidential Commission for the Prevention, Attention and Control of COVID-19’s evaluation of the levels of contagion with respect to the implementation of the Mass Vaccination Plan, which aims to vaccinate 70% of the population by the end of October.

On October 20, the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics (INAC) authorized the reactivation of four Caracas-Madrid air routes for the Air Europa airline, scheduled to resume between November 2021 and January 2022.

Moreover, INAC maintains active flight routes to Panama, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Russia, Turkey and Iran.

Two Russian airlines have been in Venezuela since June, while a third is expected to arrive in December, which will strengthen the Venezuelan tourism industry.

Velásquez Araguayán also informed that domestic airlines have submitted their flight schedules to INAC, with diverse destinations within Venezuela for November and December, since now there is 90% reservation in all airlines.

Velásquez Araguayán highlighted that Conviasa now has ATR aircraft under maintenance, which are to provide service in the Trujillo and Mérida air routes.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
