American Airlines will resume daily nonstop flights between Miami (MIA) and Caracas (CCS) on April 30, 2026, marking the first U.S. carrier to reinstate scheduled passenger service to Venezuela after a seven-year suspension. Tickets are now available for booking via aa.com and the airline’s mobile app.
Envoy Air, a wholly owned American Airlines Group subsidiary operating as American Eagle, will fly the 1,360-mile route using dual-class Embraer 175 aircraft. Departures from Miami are scheduled at 10:16 a.m. ET, arriving Caracas at 1:36 p.m. local time; returns depart Caracas at 2:40 p.m. ET, landing Miami at 6:13 p.m. ET.
The restart follows U.S. Department of Transportation rescission of a 2019 suspension order on January 29, 2026, with subsequent DOT and FAA approvals in March. American awaits final clearance from Venezuela’s civil aviation authority, submitting its application this week; the April 30 launch depends on completing all government approvals and security checks.
This service revives a key link for Miami’s large Venezuelan diaspora, filling a gap left since U.S.-Venezuela tensions halted operations in 2019. American plans eventual expansion to Maracaibo (MAR), boosting regional connectivity and capacity on a high-demand corridor.
