Conviasa launched its regular flights between Caracas and Damascus, marking its return to the Syria almost after a decade.
“Following the instructions of our president Nicolás Maduro, promoting the expansion of our airline Conviasa, today we reached international connection number 12 with the Caracas – Damascus route,” said Ramón Celestino Velásquez Araguayán, Minister of the People’s Power for Transport and President, Conviasa.
The flight between Caracas and Damascus will make a stopover in Tehran, Iran, and operate every 15 days, following the current schedule with the Iranian capital.
Conviasa had announced the return of flights between Caracas and Damascus in January 2020 with the inaugural flight scheduled for March, but it was put on hold following the outbreak of the pandemic. Tehran, on the other hand, has been operated regularly since June 2022.
The airline also plans to launch route between Havana and Moscow to enhance Havana as a base for the airline.
Apart from Damascus, the airline is also planning to launch flights connecting Caracas with Havana, Lima, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Mexico City (AIFA), Cancun, Tehran, and Moscow by June.
