Latam to restart Bogotá–Caracas only after passenger and crew security guarantees; carriers await safety reports

LATAM CEO Roberto Alvo said the carrier will resume Bogotá–Caracas flights only after Venezuelan authorities provide concrete security guarantees for passengers and crew. Iberia, Air Europa and Plus Ultra are similarly awaiting aviation-safety reports as the FAA maintains a NOTAM advising against overflight through Feb. 2.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Resumption hinges on verified security guarantees and regulatory clearance, not commercial demand, affecting network planning, crew rotations and slot use; see recent FAA safety guidance and carrier suspensions for context (source:d9913f7b-c06f-4861-8583-7198df54afd6).
  • Continued NOTAMs and suspended ticket sales directly constrain operational decisions and overflight routing costs, with potential knock-on effects for capacity and fares on South America-Europe/region routes; carriers are awaiting formal safety reports before reinstating sales and schedules.
  • The move follows other selective restarts into Caracas and government-level permit disputes that shape carrier access and bilateral permissions (source:7c962854-b87c-474b-9cb3-fdcec4c5d438; source:d4174e16-e60c-47d0-a837-ff90433614b2).
