According to the airline&#8217;s official communication, the first scheduled flights will take place on February 17, 20, and 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company explicitly clarified that flights previously scheduled for February 19 and 21 remain canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plus Ultra Confirms Return for March 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For its part, Plus Ultra L\u00edneas A\u00e9reas announced it will resume flights to Venezuela starting March 3. Initially, it will operate two direct weekly frequencies\u2014on Tuesdays and Thursdays\u2014between Madrid and Caracas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the airline\u2019s plan includes a short-term reinforcement. Starting March 28, the following will be added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A third weekly frequency on the Madrid\u2013Caracas route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A weekly Tenerife\u2013Caracas flight, expanding connectivity from the Canary Islands in addition to the Mainland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iberia Maintains Return Date for April<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Iberia is sticking to its original planning for now, with a scheduled return date of April 6. The airline has not announced any changes or early restarts, suggesting a more conservative assessment of the current operational and regulatory landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context: Total Suspension Due to Aviation Safety Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In late November 2025, all airlines operating between Spain and Venezuela suspended their direct flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision followed recommendations from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European agencies, which advised against overflying Venezuelan airspace due to safety risks. As a direct consequence, Venezuela&#8217;s National Institute of Civil Aviation (INAC) temporarily revoked the flight licenses of these carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resumption of flights by Air Europa, Plus Ultra, and Iberia marks a decisive step toward the normalization of the Spain\u2013Venezuela route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related
