The Minister of Public Works, Edgar Montaño, assured that the Venezuelan airline Conviasa “operates normally in Bolivia” with two weekly frequencies, while the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, denounced that these aircraft, sold by Iran to the government of Nicolás Maduro transport weapons.
Minister Montaño explained that It is not the first time that Conviasa lands in Bolivia, “has two weekly flights to our country. And indeed, having had some inconvenience in Argentina, we with BoA have received some passengers who were bound for Buenos Aires”.
This combination could not be carried out because the manager of the BoA airline, Ronald Casso, explained that the procedure to send a 120-passenger charter to Buenos Aires takes at least 48 hours.
The minister added that “It is about help and agreements that are made between airlines, that one can take passengers for a section to a certain place, and from there another airline can complete the journey, in this case, to the city of Buenos Aires”. He underlined that all of this was done within the scope of normality.
For its part, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) clarified, however, that within the framework of bilateral agreements between states in the region and in accordance with the ICAO standard and the Bolivian Aeronautical Regulations (RAB), the entry of a non-scheduled flight of the Conviasa air operator with the A340-600 aircraft, registration YV 3535 on the Caracas-Viru Viru-Caracas route, on June 15, whose objective was passenger transport.
The DGAC confirmed that the aforementioned aircraft returned to the Venezuelan capital at 2:20 yesterday; and he expressed through that statement his commitment to the surveillance of the operational safety of aeronautical activity in Bolivia.
