USDOT approves American Airlines flights to Venezuela

March 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Transportation Department said Wednesday it has approved ⁠American Airlines' AAL.O request to ‌operate U.S. flights ‌to Caracas ⁠and ⁠Maracaibo in Venezuela from Miami through ​its wholly owned regional carrier Envoy.

In January, ​U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ​rescinded ⁠a 2019 ‍order that barred U.S. airlines from ⁠flying to Venezuela, after President Donald Trump ⁠directed him to make the move.

American Airlines aims to resume  services to Venezuela for the first time ⁠in more than six years. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration was in Caracas last week to review airport security procedures, sources told Reuters, a step needed to resume flights.
