United Airlines Ends Service between Houston and Caracas
|
On July 1, United will end its service between Houston and Caracas, a route that "was not meeting our financial expectations," according to a United spokesperson. As Venezuela experiences an economic crisis and civil unrest, several airlines have ended or cut service, said Peter Cerda, Americas VP for the International Air Transport Association. Venezuela also is withholding $3.8 billion in funds for ticket sales, he said. "Slowly, Venezuela is cutting itself off from the outside world," Cerda said. "It won't be fully cut off, but connectivity will be focused on a few markets only."
