Venezuelan Carrier Moves to Reestablish US Service Amid Eased Restrictions

Venezuelan airline Avior Airlines has filed a request with the US Department of Transportation to resume flights to the United States, following the Trump administration’s decision to end a five-year suspension of US-Venezuela air service. The carrier is seeking a two-year authorization to operate scheduled and charter services, including flights to Miami and Houston. Avior has emphasized its private ownership and lack of financial ties to the Venezuelan government, and has submitted updated financial information in support of its request. The move comes as American Airlines has also moved to restore service to Caracas, and Avior’s fleet of Boeing 737-400 series aircraft is ready to resume flights once approvals are granted, as reported by AeroTime.
