US-Venezuela flights resume

The first direct commercial flight between the United States and Venezuela in seven years landed in Caracas on Thursday, arriving from Miami.

This historic service marks a significant thaw in diplomatic relations following years of isolation and the recent capture of former President Nicolás Maduro.

American oil executives are reportedly reassessing their prospects in the Latin American nation as transport links are restored.

The resumption of passenger air service is seen as a pivotal step in normalizing ties and revitalizing the Venezuelan economy.
