US carrier resumes flights to Caracas, signaling a thaw in Venezuela relations
TL;DR Summary
American Airlines’ Flight 3599 from Miami to Caracas—operated by Envoy on an Embraer 175—landed in Venezuela, marking the first US commercial flight to Caracas in nearly seven years and a relaunch of daily US service. The flight, about three hours, carried journalists and officials; round‑trip fares in May were over $1,000. The move comes as Washington and Caracas gradually restore ties, with the US rescinding a long‑standing ban and resuming embassy operations, signaling broader normalization and a hoped‑for economic boost for Venezuela and travel for Venezuelans and the diaspora.
