"We're going to be opening up all commercial airspace over Venezuela,"
"American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela and they'll be safe there."
"These NOTAMs were issued as precautionary measures and are no longer necessary,"
"Safety remains our top priority, and we look forward to facilitating the return of regular travel between the US and Venezuela."
The US reopened commercial airspace over Venezuela following recent military strikes and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. The Transportation Secretary rescinded a 2019 order that barred US airlines from flying to Venezuela, and the FAA removed four Caribbean NOTAMs, calling the prior measures precautionary and unnecessary. American Airlines announced plans to reinstate flights and said it is coordinating with federal authorities on permissions and security assessments, with further details to come. Nearly 1,000 Caribbean flights were canceled earlier during the airspace closure, causing some travelers to face extended delays and significant extra expenses.
