TSA inspections at Venezuela's airports for new flights

The U.S. Embassy in Venezuela reported that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is conducting inspections at the airports in Barcelona and Maracaibo to open new commercial routes between the countries. This is part of a gradual restoration of air service after an almost seven-year pause in direct flights: earlier, in March, the resumption of flights on the Caracas–Miami route was authorized. The TSA's goal is "to connect more Venezuelan cities with the U.S.," the diplomatic mission emphasized.
