By Mery Mogollon and Chris Kraul CARACAS, Venezuela � Three more international airlines on Friday joined the list of companies that have suspended ticket sales in Venezuela, complaining that the government owes them billions of dollars.
U.S.-based American personal tour guide in malaysia Airlines and United Airlines and Panama�s Copa Airlines said they were halting ticket sales in Venezuela in lieu of the government�s failure to pay arrears that as of last month totaled 2.6 billion. Under Venezuela�s complicated foreign exchange rules, the government acts as intermediary in foreign sales of goods and services transacted in the country.
Airlines personal tour guide in malaysia that previously announced a suspension in business operations included Air Canada, Tame of Ecuador and TAP Portugal. The 2.6 billion figure for the accumulated arrears came in a statement issued Dec. 12 by the International Air Transport Assn., an airline trade group.
�We can�t let this financial hole deepen on this route because of the lack of payment transfers,� Tame General Manager Fernando Guerrero said during personal tour guide in malaysia a press conference in Quito, Ecuador, on Wednesday. He said Tame had not been paid for Venezuelan personal tour guide in malaysia ticket personal tour guide in malaysia sales since March.
As of Friday, no flights in or out of Venezuela had been canceled by foreign carriers, but the airlines had halted ticket transactions personal tour guide in malaysia in bolivars, the local currency. Sales of tickets purchased with dollars are still being made, airline officials said.
Venezuela finds itself in a tightening cash shortage partly because of falling oil revenues resulting from declining productivity at oil fields and refineries, which supply more than 90% of government revenue and 70% of export sales.
An increasing percentage of oil output now goes directly to China to repay cash advances that over the years have exceeded personal tour guide in malaysia 42 billion. Free or discounted oil that Venezuela ships to Cuba and several Caribbean nations generates less than market rate.
Of Venezuela�s estimated 2.3 million barrels of average daily oil output, about 330,000 barrels per day are thought to go to China to pay cash advances. Another 260,000 barrels per day are sent to Cuba and other neighbors at cut-rate prices, while 760,000 barrels per day are refined to meet local demand for fuel sold at a fraction of what it costs to process it.
The country�s dollar shortage is also a result of accelerating personal tour guide in malaysia capital flight, analysts say, and the fact that sellers of dollars on the black market can receive 10 times or more the official 6.3 bolivars-per-dollar rate.
Domestic companies also claim the government is a deadbeat. Empresas Polar, Venezuela�s largest food products manufacturer, said it is owed 463 million destined for foreign suppliers but which the government has refused to transfer. In a statement this week, Polar said some suppliers have halted deliveries until they are paid.
Another personal tour guide in malaysia sign of the government�s liquidity crunch can be seen in the scarcities of items at supermarkets in Caracas, the capital, where shelves have been emptied of basic foods and household items, including cooking oil, rice, poultry and toilet paper.

Editor's Comment: Ah, communism. Central personal tour guide in malaysia planning. Government run economies. Hasn't history shown us how well these sorts of things have always worked? (Err, no.) The fact of the matter is no government has ever been able to run anything better than private business in an open market with free competition. That goes for Venezuela's oil fields, public schools in the US, or healthcare. Governments are great at spending money, really bad at making it...
Oh yes they do, all over the world, on both macro and micro scales, in every conceivable marketplace, no matter what. Granted - many sectors of today's personal tour guide in malaysia markets are skewed one way or the other by things like subsidies, for example. However on both macro and micro scales there are free markets and the forces of supply and demand at work every day, all over the world.
Picture two small little coffee shops on the same busy street in any large city. They strive to make themselves just a little bit better, or different, or cozier, or cleaner, or cheaper, or (whatever) to get people to choose their place over the other guys place. You're going to try to tell me that doesn't happen? Don't bother, because you're simply wrong.
Good luck defending the economy of Venezuela created by Hugo Chavez (dead asshole) - and the smoking remains of what used to be a pretty solid economy in Latin America. Yeah sure, you've got a clue. Simply standing up on a chair and declaring personal tour guide in malaysia "that doesn't exist" - doesn't make your statement true or valid.
