The Venezuelan flag carrier suspended all commercial operations on 17 September 2010, the day after a company Boeing 737-200 (reg YV-2559, serial 23097)
made an emergency landing back at Caracas with engine problems and three days after the tragic loss of an ATR42-320 (YV-1010, serial 0371)
on the approach to Puerto Ordaz. The airline is apparently conducting a technical audit of its operations, which presumably means a safety review. It has already indicated, before the results are known, that it intends to resume services on 1 October 2010. Aircraft are being chartered from other carriers to operate ConViasa services during the suspension.
