"American Airlines has ended its yearslong hiatus and resumed flights from Miami to Caracas, reclaiming a route no US carrier has flown since 2019 amid security concerns and political instability."
"The roughly 3.5-hour route is operated by American's wholly owned regional subsidiary Envoy Air, using a 76-seat Embraer E175 with first class and economy cabins."
"Demand is expected to be driven primarily by 'VFR' (visiting friends and relatives) traffic among the large Venezuelan diaspora in Florida, though the nation is also bracing for more international tourists and business travelers."
