The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a warning to major airlines on Friday, alerting them to a "potentially hazardous situation" when flying over Venezuela.

The notice emphasized that these threats could pose risks to aircraft at all altitudes, prompting concerns over the safety of air travel in the region. This warning comes as Venezuela experiences a significant increase in military activity, including the deployment of the U.S. Navy’s largest aircraft carrier, at least eight additional warships, and F-35 aircraft in nearby areas.

The FAA’s advisory underscores the growing risks to aviation safety in Venezuela's airspace, as tensions in the region continue to escalate. Airlines are now being urged to take extra precautions when operating in or near Venezuela to ensure the safety of their flights.
