Miami – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) urges Venezuelan authorities to reconsider the revocation for the operating permits of several international airlines operating in the country. The airlines in question have temporarily suspended their flights to and from Venezuela following the issuance of air safety alerts by both the governments of the United States and Spain.
Airlines have prioritized the protection of passengers and crew members, avoiding flights in high-risk areas.
The airlines reaffirm their commitment to the market and their willingness to restore service safely and efficiently as soon as conditions allow, with a focus on those passengers who have been directly affected by this situation that is beyond the airlines' control.
IATA and its members reiterate their willingness to cooperate with the relevant authorities to seek solutions that ensure air safety and preserve Venezuela's connectivity with the rest of the world.
We also urge the government authorities to provide timely clarification on the recommendations and conditions that have been communicated and which have resulted in the temporary suspension of services to and from Venezuela.
