“This great alliance has a great impact on the new economic start of the nation”, said El Aissami, who also thanked the airline for its confidence in Venezuela and highlighted the efforts of its international board to contribute to the country’s economic development.

Also, the vice president explained that this important investment of Air Europa in Venezuela includes as well commercial alliance with the national aeronautical company Conviasa, European tour operators and airport administration at international airports.

Similarly, El Aissami confirmed that transactions with Venezuelan cryptocurrency, Petro, will begin as scheduled on November 5. In that sense, he assured that as of this Thursday, any supplier of the country that wants to make payments in petros, can arrange it.
