Conviasa (V0, Caracas Simón Bolivar) is planning to resume flights to Madrid Barajas using its own metal come the expiry of a lease contract with Air Italy (2005) (Milan Malpensa) on July 15. According to airliners.de, Conviasa intends to increase frequencies from twice weekly to three times weekly. Flights will likely operate using its sole A340-200. The Venezuelan carrier was recently expunged from the European Union's safety black list after it rectified several safety oversights identified by the Europeans which had lead to the carrier's blacklisting in 2010.
