Reference News Network November 22 report: According to EFE News Agency November 21, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a notice on November 21 urging commercial flights to "exercise extreme caution" when flying over Venezuela and the southern Caribbean to cope with what it considers "the potential dangerous situation in the region." This notice comes as Washington is deploying significant military forces in the region to pressure the Maduro government.
The FAA issued the notice warning of "potential dangerous situations in the Miguel Trinidad Flight Information Region." This airspace is controlled by Venezuela and includes parts of the southern and eastern Caribbean Sea.
The notice stated: "Due to the deterioration of the security situation and an increase in military activities in Venezuela and its surrounding areas, operators are advised to exercise extreme caution when operating at all altitudes in the Miguel Trinidad Flight Information Region."
The document added: "These threats may pose a potential risk to aircraft at all altitudes, including during cruising, approach, and departure phases."
The report states that the background for the FAA's notice is the arrival of the United States' largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, the "Gerald R. Ford," in the southern Caribbean Sea last week, joining the large-scale military deployment maintained by the Pentagon in the region since this summer.
Within the framework of this operation, the United States has destroyed about 20 ships in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific, resulting in at least 83 deaths among the people on board. (Translated by Han Chao)
