After flights to Venezuela were halted back in 2019, American Airlines has announced plans to resume daily nonstop service between Miami (MIA) and Caracas (CCS). The decision to reinstate flights depends on government approval and security checks, the airline said Thursday.
Set to begin as soon as April 30, the service will be operated by Envoy Air using Embraer 175 planes. They feature a dual-class cabin, so you can upgrade to premium, and come equipped with customer-friendly amenities like Wi-Fi and in-seat power.
The Texas-based carrier began serving Venezuela in 1987, becoming the largest U.S. airline operating in the country before suspending operations more than six years ago. This left a significant gap for the thousands of Venezuelans living in South Florida.
“American’s Miami hub is the preeminent U.S. gateway to Latin America, and our service to Venezuela is a key part of our history and our future,” said American’s Chief Commercial Officer Nat Pieper. “Our commitment to connecting Venezuela with the U.S. spans more than 30 years, and we look forward to the new opportunities for commerce and strengthened ties with family and friends that our service will provide.”
As soon as regulators give the green light for the resumed service, we’ll keep you updated as soon as tickets go on sale.
