Venezuela bans six major airlines after tensions with US escalate

Since you are not sending flights and have failed to respond to our demand that you resume sending flights, you are no longer allowed to send flights

Venezuela has banned six major international airlines from landing in the country after they failed to meet a 48-hour deadline to resume flights there.

The airlines had temporarily suspended their routes into the capital, Caracas, after the US warned of "heightened military activity" in the area.

Angered by this, the Venezuelan government issued the carriers with an ultimatum that expired on Wednesday. While a number of smaller airlines continue to fly to Venezuela, thousands of passengers have been affected.
