American Airlines reduces flight frequency to and from Venezuela

American Airlines resolved to curtail its flight frequency to Venezuela as from July 1.

Sources disclose that the airline will shorten its flights from 38 to 10.

The news was confirmed by the vice-presidency of the Venezuelan Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies (Avavit), Sandra González.

González said that the decision will further hit the revenues of travel agencies which rely 80% on sale of air tickets.

And my flight's already been changed. Still the same day, but it'll be just one daily flight now instead of 2. It's almost like the regime wants to slowly make the country more isolated.
