en.Wedoany.com Reported - American Airlines resumed passenger flights from the United States to Venezuela on April 30, 2026, launching daily nonstop service between Miami and Caracas. The inaugural flight departed Miami International Airport (MIA) at 10:11 a.m. local time, operated by an Embraer 175 aircraft flown by American Airlines' regional subsidiary Envoy Air.

The aircraft was unveiled the previous day at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, featuring a special "America 250" livery commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. American Airlines CEO Robert Isom and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy attended the unveiling ceremony. American Airlines plans to add a second daily flight on May 21, bringing the total to two daily roundtrips between Miami and Caracas.

The resumption of service follows a series of approvals from the U.S. government. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy lifted the 2019 ban in January 2026, and the Department of Transportation subsequently approved American Airlines' application in March. The Transportation Security Administration also completed a security review of the Caracas airport in March. American Airlines has served Venezuela since 1987 and was once the largest U.S. carrier in the market. The restored route will support business, leisure, and humanitarian travel. The airline stated: "American Airlines is proud to be the first airline to announce plans to resume nonstop flights between the United States and Venezuela."
