Miami Carrier Resumes Service After Seven-Year Hiatus
The US Department of Transportation has authorized American Airlines to operate flights to Venezuela through its regional subsidiary Envoy Air, marking the resumption of commercial air travel between the two countries after a seven-year hiatus. The airline plans to operate flights between Miami and the Venezuelan cities of Caracas and Maracaibo. American Airlines was the first to express interest in restarting service to Venezuela following the easing of airspace rules by President Trump in January 2026. Despite the development, the US still advises against travel to Venezuela due to safety concerns. The news was first reported by AeroTime.
