First US Commercial Flight to Venezuela in Seven Years Lands in Caracas

A US commercial flight has landed in Caracas for the first time in seven years, marking a significant step in the Trump administration's efforts to rebuild diplomatic relations with Venezuela. The American Airlines flight arrived amid ongoing tensions following the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, which had previously led to a suspension of air travel between the two countries.

The resumption of flights is seen as a potential thaw in relations, though experts caution that deep political divisions remain.
