American Airlines aims to restart daily flights to Venezuela pending government and Federal Aviation Administration approval after a four-year suspension due to U.S. flight restrictions.
- On Jan 29, American Airlines Group Inc said it plans to resume daily U.S. flights to Venezuela pending approval and security assessments, weeks after the U.S. military seized Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro.
- American suspended service in 2019 after U.S. flight restrictions barred routes to Venezuela; restoring flights will reopen business, leisure, and humanitarian travel links to the region.
- Recent incidents include the FAA warning on Jan 16 that airlines should exercise caution over South America due to military activity and GPS interference, and a JetBlue evasive action near Venezuela last month to avoid a U.S. Air Force tanker.
- The FAA said it will need to conduct assessments before resumption, and U.S. President Donald Trump asked the Transportation Department to lift restrictions after speaking with Delcy Rodríguez, adding `American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela, and they'll be safe there.`
- Tensions have risen after a large-scale U.S. military buildup in the southern Caribbean, with President Donald Trump threatening force against cartels earlier this month and Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico, warning unilateral action would violate Mexico's sovereignty.
