Hello,
I am going to Merida and then to los roques in 2 weeks but heard last friday about this plane crash
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Transaven_Airlines_plane_carrying_14_people_crashes_off_Venezuelan_coast
It is the airline that we were supposed to take, and I heard that all the flights are now canceled, but I can't get any other information. Does anyone have any information about the flight status? Does anyone know if these small airlines are generally safe?
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you get any more information? I would like to know this too, as I plan to go to Los Roques next week. I think Transaven only has one plane so it is unlikely they can get you there.
El Sol de America also fly from Maquieta to Los Roques www.sol-america.com

i was in los roques this christmas and new year. travelled there with transaven. on the way there i flew with a LET (same plane as that which crashed). I remember seeing at least two of these type of planes at the airport. I dont know though if i travelled with the one that actually crashed...
On the way back to Caracas i flew again with Tranasven but with an even smaller plane... Good luck!
