American Airlines Granted Tentative Approval for Venezuela Flights
American Airlines has received tentative approval from the US Department of Transportation (DOT) to restart flights to Venezuela. The carrier plans to operate a daily service connecting Miami International with Caracas. This approval is a preliminary step and remains contingent on the US government lifting its current flight ban, which has been in place since 2019. The suspension was initially imposed due to significant safety and security concerns within Venezuela. Therefore, the actual resumption of service depends entirely on future changes in US foreign policy and FAA assessments.
