U.S. aviation safety warnings have prompted several major international airlines to cancel or suspend flights to Venezuela, as the Trump administration intensifies pressure on President Nicolás Maduro by designating the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. The decision follows a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) advisory urging caution over Venezuelan airspace due to a ‘potentially hazardous situation.’ At least three airlines, including Brazil’s Gol, Colombia’s Avianca, and TAP Air Portugal, have canceled departures from Caracas, with other carriers adjusting schedules through Monday. The move also affected the U.K. and Europe, aligning with the administration’s designation of the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. The FAA’s warning, issued on November 22, cited risks to flight safety, contributing to the airline suspensions. Meanwhile, the U.S. has increased its military presence in the Caribbean, deploying bombers, warships, and Marines as part of a broader campaign against drug-trafficking activities. The State Department formally announced the designation of the Cartel de los Soles, which is linked to government and military officials in Venezuela engaged in drug trafficking. European governments and the U.K. have updated travel advisories, cautioning travelers about the volatile situation and unpredictable flight cancellations.
