This advisory highlights concerns about worsening security and increased military activity in the region. In response, several international airlines, including TAP, LATAM, Avianca, Iberia, Gol, Caribbean, and Turkish Airlines, have suspended their flights to Venezuela, with the FAA advisory set to last untill at least february 19, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The warning coincides with the U.S. increasing its military presence in the Caribbean and conducting strikes on vessels accused of drug trafficking, resulting in dozens of deaths. Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called for the resumption of normal flights to Venezuela and condemned restrictions as a crime against humanity, advocating for global governance based on laws and justice.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration does not recognise Nicol\u00e1s Maduro as Venezuela&#8217;s legitimate leader, accusing him of narcoterrorism and drug trafficking.Recently, the U.S. designated Venezuela&#8217;s Cartel de los Soles as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-consider-enacting-statute-to-increase-punishments-for-domestic-terrorism\/\" title=\"Lawmakers consider enacting statute to increase punishments for domestic terrorism\">foreign terrorist organization<\/a>, signaling potential justification for future military intervention. Simultaneously occurring, some U.S.democrats criticize the administration&#8217;s aggressive stance, proposing legislation to limit funding for operations targeting Venezuela. Reports suggest that the Trump administration is considering expanding military actions,potentially including strikes on Venezuelan soil,which would considerably escalate tensions between the two countries.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">FAA warns airlines flying to Venezuela of &lsquo;potential risk&rsquo;
