Venezuela revokes flight rights for six airlines amid escalating US tensions
Six airlines lost landing rights after suspending flights due to a U.S. FAA safety warning amid heightened military activity and escalating U.S.-Venezuela tensions, officials said.
- Venezuela's civil aviation authority revoked operating permits for Iberia, TAP, Avianca, Latam Colombia, Turkish Airlines and Gol after Caracas said they had joined actions of state terrorism by unilaterally halting flights.
- Last week the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration warned of a `potentially hazardous situation` over Venezuela, prompting several international airlines to cancel flights and ignore Caracas's 48-hour deadline.
- U.S. military deployments to the Caribbean have increased amid worsening relations, citing President Nicolas Maduro, President of Venezuela's alleged drug supply role, which he denies, saying U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to oust him.
- Several carriers canceled flights, disrupting international service to Venezuela and affecting travellers, while Iberia said it seeks to resume services soon once full safety conditions are met.
- Caracas argued the FAA has no authority over its airspace, framing the advisory as an intrusion amid rising U.S.-Venezuela tensions after U.S. military deployments and mutual accusations.
