A national airline called Conviasa announced in 2019 with the sale of tickets in Petros. At that time Joselit Ramirez, the national superintendent of cryptocurrency, said that these operations were confirmed in less than two minutes.
then, Turpial Airlines, another national airline, announced It would accept payments in Bitcoin for tickets in August last year. The small airline, which operates with three Boeing aircraft, was one of the groundbreaking private airlines in announcing the support of payments in cryptocurrency.
This announcement seems to be the result of what Nicolas Maduro, the president of the country, in January, said when he emphasized This would be the year for the "revival" of all cryptocurrency systems. Inflation and devaluation are not stopped this year. On October 1, the Venezuelan government carried out a change in the Fiat currency and stroked six zeros of their value to facilitate payments.
