💨 Abstract

On January 3, major U.S. airlines canceled hundreds of flights due to a military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. The FAA closed Caribbean airspace for safety reasons, prompting American Airlines, Delta, Spirit Airlines, and JetBlue to cancel flights. The FAA did not provide further details, but U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy indicated restrictions would be lifted when safe. Airlines waived change fees for affected customers.
