The airline Laser Airlines not only reaffirmed its operations, but also announced the decision to separate of the Association of Airlines of Venezuela (ALAV).
In his statement, Laser expressed his “disagreement with the statement issued by the Association,” alleging that the union did not previously consult its scope. lThe airline urged its passengers to communicate directly with them to obtain information, distancing itself from the union position.
Other key national airlines also stepped up to ensure safety and continuity of service. The president of Avior Airlines reaffirmed that all National and international flights “continue to operate normally.”
In a message shared on his account on “Avior Airlines “will continue to be the bridge that connects Venezuela with the world and our regions with each other.”
Meanwhile, Estelar Latinoamérica reported that their itineraries are operating with “total normality and at their established times.” On his Instagram account @stellarairline They emphasized that their priority is the “operational safety, punctuality and connectivity of our country”making available several direct customer service channels for any queries.
