U.S. Military Operation In Venezuela Disrupts Air Travel, Hundreds Of Flights Canceled

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a social media post that “the FAA restricted the airspace in the Caribbean and Venezuela to ensure the SAFETY of the flying public.” Early this morning in support of the Department of War, the FAA restricted the airspace in the Caribbean and Venezuela to ensure the SAFETY of the flying public. JetBlue said it canceled about 215 flights “due to airspace closures across the Caribbean related to military activity.” It also noted that flights farther west to the Dominican Republic and Jamaica were not affected by the government’s restrictions.
