US FAA warns airlines again of ‘worsening security situation’ when flying over Venezuela

-

Dec 16 (Reuters) - ​The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday issued ⁠another warning to major airlines of a "worsening security situation" ‍when flying over Venezuela and ​urged them to exercise caution.

"Threats could pose a potential risk ​to aircraft at all altitudes, including during overflight, the arrival and departure phases of flight, and/or ‌airports and aircraft on ‌the ground," the FAA said in ​a notice.

The notice follows a similar announcement last month ‌and comes on the heels ⁠of a large-scale U.S. ‌military buildup ​in the southern Caribbean as U.S. President Donald Trump ⁠campaigns to ⁠oust Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
