US lifts Caribbean airspace curbs after attack on Venezuela

The United States advised airlines on Saturday that its Caribbean airspace curbs would expire at midnight ET (8am Cyprus time) and flights could resume as schedules are quickly updated, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.

The comments on social media followed the cancelation of hundreds of flights by major airlines after the US attack on Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.

Key carriers United Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta were readying to resume flights to the Caribbean by Sunday.
