Teixeira considered that this is good news for the air sector: with it, a tax charge will be removed from international tickets to Venezuela, which were charged about 60 dollars, due to the payment of the test to rule out the covid -19, which is done when entering the country’s air terminals.
“Having cheaper air tickets (…) Venezuela becomes more attractive as a tourist destination,” he stressed.
In March 2020, Venezuela suspended all international flights due to the covid-19 pandemic, a measure that the Government began to relax at the end of that year with some frequencies allowed under strict controls.
