Overview
- American Airlines said it aims to restart daily nonstop service between Miami and Caracas as soon as April 30, pending final government approvals and security checks.
- The flights would be operated by American's regional carrier Envoy using Embraer 175 jets on the Miami–Caracas route.
- The U.S. Department of Transportation granted authorization in March for American to resume service to Venezuela.
- If launched, the route would mark the first scheduled U.S. airline service to Venezuela since flights were halted in 2019 over safety concerns.
- American frames the restart as a way to reconnect families and business travelers, though service cannot begin until both U.S. and Venezuelan authorities complete airport and security clearances.
