Venezuela demands airlines resume flights within 48 hours after multiple carriers halted service due to FAA warnings of increased military activity and security risks, IATA warns of isolation.
- On Monday, Venezuela's aviation authority ordered international airlines to resume flights within 48 hours or face losing their clearance.
- After the US Federal Aviation Administration warning on Friday, several airlines suspended flights due to `heightened military activity` amid deployment of the world's largest aircraft carrier to the southern Caribbean.
- Among affected carriers, Spain's Iberia, Air Europa and Plus Ultra, Brazil's Gol, Chile's Latam, Colombia's Avianca, Portugal's TAP and Turkish Airlines halted flights while Panama's Copa and Venezuela's state-owned Conviasa continued flying to Maiquetía international airport.

- Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro denounced US strikes and said Monday `they will not be able to defeat Venezuela, we are invincible`, while the US Navy has carried out at least 21 strikes since the beginning of September.
