Delta to stop weekly Atlanta-Caracas flights in September
Delta Air Lines Saturday said it would cut its once-weekly flights from Atlanta to Caracas, Venezuela, in the latest instance of a US airline cutting operations with the embattled nation. "Delta will suspend its once per week service between Atlanta and Caracas, with the final southbound flight scheduled for Sept 16, 2017," a Delta spokeswoman said. Avianca said Thursday it would suspend flights to and from Venezuela immediately, instead of in mid-August, because of "operational and security limitations registered during the last few hours." Many airlines have been in protracted disputes with the Venezuelan govt over billions of dollars of ticket sales made in the beleaguered local currency. IATA said last month Venezuela owes airlines more than US$3.8b. <br/>
