Avianca has ceased ticket sales for its non-stop flights between San José and Caracas starting from March 2. Last December, this route had been the first that the company resumed in Venezuela after seven years.
In response to an inquiry from Aviacionline, the company indicated that «we are constantly evaluating our route network, to focus our capacity on those that have the most demand» and that is why they have decided to suspend flights between San José and Caracas.
Starting from March 2, Avianca passengers wishing to fly between Costa Rica and Venezuela will have the option of making a stopover in Bogotá. Currently, the Colombian airline operates four weekly flights between both capitals.
Already in April 2014, Avianca had suspended its operations in Caracas due to low demand, exacerbated by the requirement for Venezuelan citizens to present a visa to enter Costa Rica.
