“So far in Venezuela the supplying of fuel for airlines is being done with total normality,” he said.
He indicated that despite the lack of hydrocarbon for land transport, “there is no problem” for national and international airplanes to be supplied.

He commented that because of the distance between Venezuela and the European countries, their planes are loaded with fuel when they arrive in the country.
Figuera did express concern about the political situation and commented that he expects US sanctions will not affect the sector.
