2018–2021: Network Expansion

Additional 787-9s allowed VenAvia to expand into secondary long-haul markets, consistent with VenAvia’s identity as Perland’s leading secondary-service airline.

New routes included:

Erebus – Dürsenfjord (Niceland)

Erebus – Marovik (Armavia)

Erebus – Kramshov (Northern Ratania)

The 787-9 replaced less efficient widebodies on routes that needed long range but not the capacity of larger aircraft.
