Despite Donald Trump’s statement that Venezuelan airspace was closed, the two weekly flights to Caracas carrying deported migrants will resume

A notice by the FAA cited the "worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around Venezuela."

Venezuela has banned six international airlines, accusing them of “state terrorism” after the carriers suspended flights to the country following a warning from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Venezuela's decision to revoke permits for carriers is the latest response to escalating tensions with the US.

Venezuela has told international airlines to resume flights to the country within 48 hours or risk being stripped of their clearance to fly there altogether. Several airlines suspended their flights to Venezuela after the US aviation regulator warned on Friday of "heightened military activity" in the area.

The FAA urged civilian aircraft in Venezuelan airspace to "exercise caution" due to the "worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around Venezuela."
