Trump Administration Announces Hundreds of Flights Out of the Caribbean Cancelled for Venezuelan Operation

"Duffy posted to social media that the Federal Aviation Administration Restricted the airspace in the Caribbean and Venezuela to ensure the SAFETY of the flying public. When appropriate, these airspace restrictions will be lifted. Please work with your airlines directly if your flight has been impacted, he added. Early this morning in support of the Department of War, the FAA restricted the airspace in the Caribbean and Venezuela to ensure the SAFETY of the flying public."

"This whole military operation in the Caribbean this morning and late last night has thrown the American transport system really into a tailspin, reported Josh Einiger. Think about this: This is one of the biggest travel days of the year. It is now the Saturday after New Year's. Everyone is trying to get home. Hundreds of flights have been canceled because the U.S. FAA has shut down airspace in that area in the whole Caribbean."

The FAA restricted airspace in the Caribbean and Venezuela to ensure the safety of the flying public following U.S. military action that transported Nicolás Maduro and his wife to the United States. Hundreds of flights were canceled across major carriers, including JetBlue, Delta, American and United. The cancellations occurred on one of the busiest travel days of the year, disrupting travelers returning after the New Year holiday. The airspace restrictions produced a ripple effect across the U.S. aviation system, and recovery will take several days. Passengers are instructed to work directly with their airlines for rebooking and updates.
