International commercial flight operations in Venezuela have grown by 26.8%, and domestic flights by 58%, as compared with 2022 statistics, according to a report made by Juan Teixeira, the president of the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics (INAC).
During a radio program broadcast this Wednesday, August 23, the head of INAC stated that “the numbers speak for themselves, and are certified by the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA).”
The statistics were also published via posts made on INAC’s social media. “With passion and enthusiasm, the national air sector continues to work on the development and expansion of Venezuelan civil aviation,” the posts added.

Airlines interested in Venezuela?
During his interview in the radio program, Teixeira reported that there are a large number of international airlines interested in having air connectivity with Venezuela. “The measures we took at the beginning of the pandemic are bearing fruit today,” he noted.
He also highlighted that the visit of the ICAO-SAM Technical Assistance Mission “served to corroborate the fact that we maintain—and exceed by 92.2%—the goals of the last audit carried out in this country, ranking third in South America and fourth in the Americas overall.”
