This Tuesday, Iberia resumes its flights with Venezuela, suspended since November 29, with four weekly frequencies (four outbound flights and four return flights), company sources informed the EFE agency.
The first plane leaves Madrid for Caracas this Tuesday at 1:40 p.m. (11:40 GMT) and the return flight will take off from there at 7:00 p.m. local time.
The flight, served with an Airbus 330-200, is practically full, with 275 seats, the sources explained.
The operation resumes with these four weekly frequencies, one less than Iberia had with that country before November 29, when it decided to suspend services following the recommendation of the Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) following the alert from the United States Aviation Authority (FAA) about the instability in the country and in the southern Caribbean.
Iberia had already announced its intention to resume links with Venezuela this April, once US President Donald Trump assured that commercial air connections would be opened “very soon” after opening the airspace over the country.
The announcement of extreme caution made by the FAA on November 21 and the recommendations of the air safety agencies of Europe and Spain led airlines that month to stop their operations with the South American country.
