U.S. FAA Alert Causes Airline Cancellations in Venezuela
U.S. military buildup included USS Gerald R. Ford and strikes on 20 drug-smuggling vessels, killing over 80.
GOL, Avianca, TAP, Iberia, and Air Portugal canceled flights on specific dates.
Some airlines continued operations while others evaluated conditions.
FAA alert and cancellations coincide with planned Cartel de los Soles designation, risking higher fares and isolation.
