American Airlines resumes direct commercial flights between the US and Venezuela after seven years.
American Airlines Flight AA3599, operated by Envoy Air subsidiary, departed Miami International Airport on Thursday and landed at Simón Bolívar International Airport near Caracas, marking the first direct US-Venezuela commercial flight since 2019. The resumption follows a January US operation that resulted in the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the subsequent restoration of full diplomatic relations. American Airlines said a second daily Miami-Caracas flight will begin May 21.
