What to Know About Flights to Venezuela After Devastating Earthquakes

The airline plans to resume flights to Caracas “once the airport reopens for commercial flights,” Laura Masvidal, a spokeswoman for the airline, said in an email on Tuesday. American is also scheduled to begin service between Miami and Maracaibo, in Venezuela’s northwest, on July 14, Ms. Masvidal said.

United Airlines, which plans to begin nonstop service between Houston and Caracas in August, said that it would make “no changes to the schedule as of now.”

Some flights from Central and South American nations have continued to other cities in Venezuela, but a majority of the country’s international air traffic went through Caracas.

The damage to the city’s airport is likely to disrupt travel plans for thousands of passengers each day until it reopens. On the day the earthquakes struck, there were 85 domestic and international flights, totaling more than 12,000 seats, scheduled to take off from and land at the airport, according to Cirium, an aviation data firm.
