Major airlines including Gol, Avianca, and TAP Air Portugal cancel flights to Venezuela following U.S. aviation warnings about deteriorating security conditions.
Several major airlines have pulled Venezuelan flights following a U.S. aviation safety warning, disrupting travel to the country and as the Trump administration escalates pressure on President Nicolás Maduro.
According to Reuters, at least three airlines, Brazil’s Gol, Colombia’s Avianca, and TAP Air Portugal, canceled departures from Caracas Saturday, with other international carriers making changes through Monday.
The flight disruption also impacted the U.K. and Europe, coinciding with the administration’s decision to designate the Venezuelan group known as the Cartel de los Soles, as a foreign terrorist organization.
TAP said its flight decision followed U.S. advisories indicating that safety could not be guaranteed, Reuters reported.
