After a nearly seven-year hiatus, direct commercial passenger flights have officially resumed between the United States and Venezuela. American Airlines launched the renewed daily service connecting Miami and Caracas, with plans to introduce a second daily flight by May 21st. The airline emphasized that restoring this vital route will help facilitate business, tourism, and humanitarian travel between the two nations. Highlighting the inaugural departure carrying officials and press, the US State Department credited President Donald Trump for ending the long-standing flight suspension.
