Interestingly, Conviasa is on the list of companies banned from operating in the United States by OFAC (Foreign Assets Control Agency), as the airline is used to transport Nicolás Maduro, as well as government officials considered illegitimate by the United States. As a result, any company that does business with the US, rents aircraft, provides services or flies with Conviasa, could be sanctioned by the US government.
