Strict air restrictions: The United States bans flights over Venezuelan airspace.

Washington, DC – The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a complete ban on US aircraft flying in Venezuelan airspace, a precautionary measure reflecting escalating security concerns related to the country’s rising tensions.

The FAA explained that the decision stems from recent security assessments indicating potential risks to civil aviation safety due to the unstable political and military situation, as well as the possibility of sudden developments in Venezuelan airspace.

According to the decision, US airlines, as well as aircraft registered in the United States or operated by US pilots, are prohibited from flying in or transiting Venezuelan airspace until further notice. Exceptions will be made only with special and prior approval.

This measure coincides with a significant escalation in political and security tensions between Washington and Caracas, particularly following reports of military movements and internal unrest. This has prompted US authorities to take precautionary measures to avoid any potential risks to air traffic.

Observers believe the flight ban reflects growing US concern about unpredictable developments in Venezuela and could affect international air traffic in the region. Especially flights transiting Latin America. Airlines are awaiting any new updates regarding the duration or expansion of the ban.
