FAA Restricts US Commercial Flights in Venezuelan Airspace
The US Federal Aviation Administration has imposed restrictions on commercial flights operated by US airlines in Venezuelan airspace, citing safety concerns linked to reports of heightened military activity in the region.
The regulator said the decision is intended to reduce risks to civil aviation and flight crews, with the restrictions applying to routes over the country and to specific zones that may pose potential hazards to air navigation.
Reports of explosions in the capital, Caracas, have added to concerns about the security environment, and airlines have been advised to comply with the restrictions and monitor further operational updates.
The situation remains fluid, and flight guidance may be adjusted as risk assessments are updated.
