The U.S. Departments of Transportation (USDOT) and State celebrated the first commercial flight from the United States to Venezuela in seven years, participating in a ceremony at the Miami International Airport. The American Airlines flight will fly daily between Miami International Airport and Simón Bolívar International Airport.
“It’s a critical milestone in strengthening the United States relationship with Venezuela and unleashing economic opportunity in both countries,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. “The future of air travel between the United States and Venezuela has never been brighter. We can’t wait to expand on this progress and bring more flights online in the coming months.”
Transportation Undersecretary Ryan McCormack said, “This flight will directly contribute to Venezuela’s economic recovery. USDOT looks forward to continuing to work with our Venezuelan counterparts to build on this strong foundation and unlock additional opportunities.”
