«Margarita is a destination that has been the subject of great advances in the air sector and for the first quarter of this year we would already be projecting, including connecting Brazil with Margarita, » said Ramón Velásquez, Venezuelan Minister of Transportation, when the first talks for the route resumption emerged.

The recovery of this route is due to the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Venezuela and Brazil and Conviasa expects to expand its international operations with new services in 2023. The last service between both nations was in March 2020 on a non-regular route between Caracas (CCS) and Manaus (MAO) operated by Avior Airlines in Boeing 737-200.
