Understanding the Venezuelan Airlines’ Situation

In the later years, Venezuelan Airlines have suffered a serious decline regarding to profitability, which makes titanic effort to offer new routes, destinations, and even to offer to the cost of the flight so citizens can reach it.

Aviation, globally, has been managed as an Enterprise for elites. Venezuela does not escape of this reality in a way. Nevertheless, the airlines that have a life inferior of thirty years long (after the bankrupt of the two well-recognized airlines worldwide like Viasa and Avensa) find themselves in the contact decision taking in order to provide alternatives to travelers.

In the other hand, added to this problem, it is necessary to include the hole left by international airlines, after ceasing their flight and connections to/from Caracas due to a series of factors que mass medias have already shown several times. Venezuela is becoming isolated. The alternative for travelling to other destinations is done by having a stopover Bogota and Panama City.

It proves to be a utopia to assure that an airline with Venezuelan flag can link the capital of “the North of the South” with cities of Europe, as well as reaching new destinations in the United States of America. All of this is because Venezuelan companies of air transportation have not conquered the reliance in matter of aviation security and aviation safety yet, as framed in the standards and terms agreed within the Eurozone. But talking about utopia can show the way to take to stop being a utopia and becoming a reality. So, to overcome that obstacle, it is necessary to have investors who want to make this objective true: to inject money.

Up to the present, certain companies like SBA, Laser, Avior, Estelar and Rutaca; by mean of wet-leasing charter providers’ fleet, can sustain connection with Miami to and from Caracas, Barcelona and Maracaibo. In conjunction with the theme, the routes to Central and South America have not satisfied the quality of the services for the users and the lucrativeness expected by the airlines involved.

To conclude with this theme, it is proven to be difficult to indicate which will be the expectative of the commercial aviation endeavor in Venezuela in an environment kind of dark meanwhile other nations like Haiti and Bolivia are pushing and harvesting some goals in this field.
