ConViasa suspends operations
ConViasa (Venezuela) is reported to have suspended operations effective May 5th, due to political unrest in the country, prevailing economic difficulties and a temporary lapse in insurance. It's sole widebody, a Boeing 747-400 wet leased from Wamos Air (Spain), was returned May 3rd, ending the Madrid-Caracas service. However, domestic services are expected to resume in due course.
The remaining active fleet consisted of 2 ATR-42s, 2 ATR-72s, 2 Bombardier CRJ-700ERs and 16 Embraer E-190s (although only about eight of the latter were thought to be in service at any one time).
