Estelar started marketing its non-stop flights between Maiquetia Airport and Adolfo Suarez International Airport. The company’s last operation to the Spanish capital was performed on March 31, 2020.
The airline suspended its operations to Europe due to the COVID-19 health crisis: Estelar continued to operate domestic flights and some international flights such as Panama. There are no plans for the time being to resume to Rome and Lisbon, routes that were operated before the pandemic.
Estelar’s service will add 864 additional weekly seats to the Caracas-Madrid segment. The airline will compete in this market with Air Europa, Iberia and Plus Ultra.
