On Thursday (January 29, 2025), American Airlines announced plans to become the first airline to reinstate nonstop service between the United States and Venezuela.  The carrier stated that they remain in close contact with federal authorities, and are ready to commence flights to Venezuela, pending government approval and ongoing security assessments.  American originally started operating in Venezuela in 1987, and before suspending service in 2019, served as the largest U.S. airline in the country.  American connects more destinations nonstop to the U.S. than any other airline across the Caribbean and Latin America.


In Thursday’s announcement, American Airlines’ Chief Commercial Officer, Nat Pieper, said,


“We have a more than 30-year history connecting Venezolanos to the U.S., and we are ready to renew that incredible relationship.  By restarting service to Venezuela, American will offer customers the opportunity to reunite with families and create new business and commerce with the United States.”
