On April 30, 2026, American Airlines made history by operating the first direct commercial flight from the United States to Venezuela since 2019.
The flight landed at Simón Bolívar airport, a moment celebrated by US and Venezuelan officials as a sign of improving diplomatic ties.
This development comes four months after the US capture of Nicolás Maduro, which many view as a pivotal moment in the relationship between the two countries.
