VENEZUELA REVOKES 6 AIRLINE PERMITS AFTER FAA ALERT — DEPORTATION FLIGHTS AT RISK

IATA urged Venezuela to reverse its revocation of operating permits for six major international airlines after carriers suspended service following a U.S. FAA safety advisory over Venezuelan airspace. The move fractures Venezuela’s air links amid U.S. counternarcotics activity and rising diplomatic tensions, and it directly complicates logistics for U.S.–Venezuela deportation flights. Airlines say they will resume service when conditions are safe; Caracas accuses them of abetting U.S. “state terrorism.”
