Companies will be able to resume their flights to Venezuela normally, after the European Union Agency for Aviation Safety withdrew its recommendation to avoid flying to the country
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has withdrawn the recommendation not to fly in Venezuelan airspace, a warning it issued on January 3 after the United States attacks on the country in force until this Monday and which was preceded by another similar one given the previous rise in tensions in the area.
In this way, European operators will be able to resume their normal activity in the country. In this sense, Air Europa will operate this Tuesday its first flight to Venezuela after a break that began in November, while Plus Ultra will do so on March 3.
Iberia, for its part, plans to restart operations in April if “full security guarantees” are given.
The three companies decided to cancel their operations in Venezuela after the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an alert in mid-November to airlines to “exercise caution” for aircraft flying over Venezuela, an alert that was responded to by EASA, who then recommended that EU airlines not fly to the country.
Following the action of the United States in Venezuela in early January, its president, Donald Trump, announced on January 30 that he had ordered the reopening of Venezuelan airspace to commercial flights after a conversation with Delcy Rodríguez.
