US Airlines Cancel Flights Amid Rising Tensions with Venezuela
Multiple airlines have suspended flights to and from Venezuela following a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) advisory. The FAA warned of a worsening security situation and increased military activity in Venezuelan airspace. Airlines including Avianca, Iberia, and Gol Linhas Aereas have halted operations, with some monitoring the situation closely. The advisory noted incidents of GNSS interference affecting civil aircraft, raising safety concerns. The US has increased its military presence in the region, including deploying the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier. Colombia's aviation authority has mandated that commercial operators comply with FAA guidelines and report current flight routes. The situation remains fluid as airlines assess safety measures.
