RT-Project Technologies, a subsidiary of the Rostec State Corporation, will start implementing digital solutions to manage air transportation and travel operators’ activity in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The cooperation agreement was signed by Sergey Yarosh, CEO of RT-Project Technologies and Joan Manuel Sotillo Bernal, Director of the representative office of air carrier Conviasa in Russia. The project is supposed to last for three years. 

The parties agreed on the development and implementation of information and digital systems in Venezuela, which will allow efficient building of technological processes for distribution of passenger air transportation, and make automatic booking available in real time. In addition to that, a nationwide digital travel platform will be launched in order to automate all activities of travel operators. 

“We have close and fruitful cooperation with Venezuela. Earlier, we agreed on the implementation of joint projects in the field of power engineering and communications, now time has come for industries just as important as that: air transportation and tourism. The concluded agreement will contribute to the promotion of advanced Russian-made R&D-intensive products in the rapidly developing Latin American market. In close cooperation with our Venezuelan colleagues, we will implement modern solutions, whose effect will be experienced not only by businesses but also by service consumers. In particular, we will create a National Digital Tourism Platform (NDTP). It will bring all travel services across the country together in a single venue thus giving a new impulse to the development of this domain”, explained Sergey Yarosh, CEO of RT-Project Technologies. 

Conviasa is the largest Venezuelan air carrier based in Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía. The company serves national destinations, and operates flights to Latin America, the Caribbean and Russia. 

Earlier, Rostec’s RT-Project Technologies executed a memorandum with the National state power corporation (CORPOELEC). The purpose of the document is to secure energy supply in Venezuela. The parties plan to implement joint projects in the field of digital technologies, technical support, necessary equipment supply, training, and professional certification of Venezuelan experts.
