Copa Airlines Announces Gradual Resumption of Operations in Venezuela
Copa Airlines announced this Thursday the gradual reactivation of its scheduled flights to several key destinations in Venezuela, following the receipt of official NOTAM C0667/26 issued by the country’s civil aviation authorities. The measure partially mitigates regional connectivity restrictions, although services to the country’s primary hub will experience a different timeline.
Reactivation Schedule for Regional Routes
According to the operational schedule provided by the airline, the resumption of connections will be executed immediately and in phases, adhering to its regular timetables:
- Valencia: Scheduled flights to and from this city resume starting this afternoon, Thursday, June 25.
- Barcelona, Barquisimeto, and Maracaibo: The restart of flight operations for these three cities is scheduled to begin tomorrow, Friday, June 26, 2026.

Caracas Connection Remains Suspended
Unlike the regional airport network, the trunk route to the Venezuelan capital will remain under temporary restrictions:
- Flights to and from Caracas will remain suspended, initially until July 2, 2026.
- The reactivation of this strategic market will remain strictly subject to evolving operational conditions.
Commercial Flexibility Policies and Passenger Support
With the firm purpose of safeguarding its customers’ travel plans, the carrier has activated special waiver and flexibility mechanisms. Subject to specific company policies and terms, the following transactions will be permitted free of charge:
- Travel date changes.
- Re-routing (modifications to origin and destination points).
- Refund processing.
Authorized Channels and Travel Advisory
To manage these alternatives, the airline requests passengers to directly contact its call center, official ticket offices, airport stations, or their respective travel agency.
Additionally, a high-priority advisory has been issued urging all passengers to verify their flight status before traveling to the airports. This status check can be performed in real time via the airline’s website, mobile application, or through its official communication channels.
