Multiple international airlines canceled flights to Venezuela over the weekend after the Federal Aviation Administration warned of a "worsening security situation" in the South American country amid a U.S. military buildup in the region.
The big picture: The FAA, in a Friday NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) warning of "heightened military activity" in the region, has seen at least six airlines cancel flights, Marisela de Loaiza, president of the Airlines Association in Venezuela (ALAV), told media Sunday.
