Last Saturday (Nov 29), U.S. President Donald Trump announced the closure of airspace over and around Venezuela. 😮✈️
Now, a live flight radar map from Flightradar24 shows eerily empty skies above the country – a near-total no-fly zone. Many international flights have been canceled, leaving travelers in limbo.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Instant Grounding: Once the closure order dropped, major carriers paused flights to and from Venezuela. Think of it like pressing pause on the travel app you use every day.
- Safety First: The U.S. cited security concerns. While details remain sketchy, airlines are playing it safe until things clear up.
- Stranded? Plan B: If you had plans to jet into Caracas or beyond, now’s the time to check cancellation policies and reschedule through alternate routes, like neighboring countries.
For those planning trips or sending packages, stay tuned to your airlines and tracking apps for live updates. And if you’re on the ground in Venezuela, keep your travel documents handy and check local advisories.
