Those who stopped flying to Venezuela
gradually, from the 2014, international airlines have begun to leave Venezuela, for many reasons, but mainly, due to currency problems (payment in bolivars) and repatriation of foreign currency to their respective countries, which in many cases has not been carried out or has been penalized by the exchange rate difference.. Other factors have been potential operational safety problems due to an obsolete general aeronautical infrastructure such as airports and technology and a gradual decline in demand from the issuing countries due to the low interest in visiting Venezuela as a tourist..
Every airline has had its reasons, but the result the same. The ones that have come out so far are, Dynamic Airways , LATAM, Aeromexico, Lufthansa, Alitalia, Air Canada, United, Avianca, Delta, Tame, LAW y American Airlines.
