U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela is to be closed in its entirety.
Trump, in a Reality Social publish stated: “To all Airways, Pilots, Drug Sellers, and Human Traffickers, please think about THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”
Final week, the U.S. aviation regulator warned main airways of a “doubtlessly hazardous state of affairs” when flying over Venezuela on account of a “worsening safety state of affairs and heightened navy exercise in or round” the nation.
Venezuela revoked working rights for six main worldwide airways that had suspended flights to the nation following a warning from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.
