In March, the airline began operations between Bogotá and Caracas with the arrival of 44 passengers at the Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía.

Carolina Ruíz, commercial director of Satena, said at that time that the expansion of the routes was expected to include the city of Valencia, in the center of the country, but that would be progressive.

At the moment, Satena operates with non-scheduled flights, that is, the establishment of an office within the airport was still pending.

“The procedures have not been completed but it has authorization to operate,” an airport source told EL TIEMPO, who assured that the permits had already been granted by Maiquetía for the May 8 flight.
