Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan determined that “conditions in Venezuela threaten the safety and security of passengers, aircraft, and crew," according to a DHS statement. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo approved the suspension and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao implemented it.

“This determination is based on the ongoing political instability and increased tensions in Venezuela and associated inadvertent risk to flight operations,” the statement said.

Most U.S.-based airlines already stopped flying to Venezuela because of security concerns in and around its airports. American Airlines was the last to halt its operations in March after the State Department warned travelers to stay away from the country. Delta Airlines suspended flights to Venezuela in 2017.

In April, the Federal Aviation Administration banned pilots from flying below 26,000 feet in Venezuelan airspace
