The FAA lifts the ban on flights in Venezuela

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States has lifted the restriction on flights in Venezuela, according to NOTAM A0008/23 issued on June 2, 2023 by said agency. This measure reverses the prohibition to carry out flight operations in Venezuelan territory and airspace below 26,000 feet.

With this decision, the notice known as NOTAM C0013/19 of May 1, 2019 is annulled, which grants permission to airlines and commercial operators in the United States, as well as to aircraft registered in that country, excluding air operators. foreign.

For its part, the government of President Joe Biden denied recent reports disseminated by the propaganda media of the Nicolás Maduro regime about an alleged resumption of direct flights between the United States and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

It is important to clarify that the FAA’s removal of the no-fly ban allows US civilian operators to use Venezuelan airspace in a pinch to safely divert and avoid dangerous weather conditions common in the region. However, this action does not imply the authorization of commercial flights to and from Venezuela.
