The Airport Authority of Guayaquil, Ecuador, indicated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of that country organized with the Consulate of Venezuela a repatriation flight for Venezuelan migrants. However, the aircraft that the Venezuelan government would send was from Conviasa, an airline whose operating permit was withdrawn by the Ecuadorian National Civil Aviation Council.
Around 70 Venezuelans who were in Ecuador were transferred to a shelter, after a Conviasa repatriation flight could not land in Guayaquil, to which the National Civil Aviation Council of that country withdrew its operating permit, according to the airport authorities.
The Guayaquil Airport Authority (AAG) explained on the night of October 25 through a statement that for three weeks Conviasa has not had the permits to fly in Ecuadorian airspace “because it does not comply with a series of regulations required by the aviation authority.

The AAG indicated that the flight had been organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ecuador and the Consulate of Venezuela in Guayaquil.
After it was denounced that after the refusal to allow the entry of the Conviasa plane, some 90 Venezuelans remained in the facilities of the Ecuadorian air terminal awaiting a response about their trip, the AAG deleted its statement and shared this Wednesday the information of the Mayor’s Office of Guayaquil about the transfer of 70 travelers from this group to a series of shelters.
In these facilities “they will be treated in an integral way until their flight can leave,” said the Mayor’s Office of Guayaquil.
