Airlines Suspend Venezuela Flights Amid US Military Activity
Six major international airlines suspended flights after the FAA warned of increased military activity and satellite navigation interference posing risks to aircraft at all altitudes.
- The FAA warned of a 'potentially hazardous situation' over Venezuela due to increased military activity, urging caution while stopping short of banning flights.
- FAA background documents show Global Navigation Satellite System interference has increased since September, linked to rising military readiness, and the NOTAM requires 72 hours' notice for flights at Simón Bolívar Maiquetía International Airport.
- FAA technical notes warn that jamming equipment can affect aircraft up to 25 nautical miles, and Venezuelan military has advanced fighters and weapons capable of reaching civil altitudes.
- Six international carriers suspended flights to Venezuela on Saturday after the FAA alert, with Iberia canceling Caracas flights from Nov 22 and TAP confirming cancellations on Nov 22 and Nov 25.
- The military buildup includes the USS Gerald R. Ford, at least eight other warships and F-35 aircraft, alongside U.S. strikes killing over 80 on drug-smuggling vessels, pressuring President Nicolás Maduro.
