US EditionAmerican Airlines Set to Resume US Flights to Venezuela as Soon as April 30
The daily service would restore U.S.-Venezuela commercial flights after more than six years, with Envoy operating Embraer 175 aircraft.
- On Thursday, American Airlines announced plans to resume daily nonstop service between Miami and Caracas, Venezuela, as soon as April 30, using Embraer 175 aircraft pending final government approvals.
- Restoration follows major geopolitical changes, including the January 3 capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy lifted the 2019 ban in January after President Donald Trump directed the move.
- American will provide flights through its wholly owned regional subsidiary, Envoy, after the Transportation Security Administration reviewed airport security procedures in Caracas last month, a necessary step to resume service after more than six years.
- The State Department maintains a 'Reconsider Travel' advisory for Venezuela due to risks including crime and kidnapping, even as the airline noted daily flights will support business, leisure, and humanitarian travel.
- Chief commercial officer Nat Pieper said, "American's Miami hub is the preeminent US gateway to Latin America, and our service to Venezuela is a key part of our history and our future.
